At the final timeout of Wednesday’s 92-62 win against Sacred Heart University, coach Tonya Cardoza had a sense of relief.
With four minutes remaining, Cardoza emptied her bench after the Owls (4-4) extended their lead to 32, allowing her team to celebrate the win against the Pioneers.
“We really stressed about having a good third quarter because we haven’t played well, and it’s cost us a lot,” Cardoza said. “We need to play two good halves, and I definitely felt like we did that today.”
Last year at this time, Temple was in a similar position.
