Coach Seamus O’Connor and his team have hit on all of their targets this year, except one.
First on O’Connor’s agenda, the Owls (12-6-1, 4-4-1 American Athletic Conference) defeated city-rival La Salle for the first time in 13 years Sept. 18. Then, the team recorded its first win in five games against Southern Methodist Oct. 22.
Temple even managed to accomplish what O’Connor said may have been its most “lofty” goal—to win 12 games and set a new program record for single-season victories.
“We achieved so much this year that it’s kind of like putting coins into a meter, like our confidence meter, and now we’re pretty full,” O’Connor said.
