PHILADELPHIA -- The Temple women's basketball team heads to Connecticut on Tuesday, squaring off against Quinnipiac at 5:00 p.m. The 2-1 Owls are looking to bounce back from a loss to Rutgers on Sunday.
Temple opened the season with victories over Florida (97-91) and La Salle (77-48) before suffering its first defeat, a 61-51 loss at Rutgers. In that game, the Owls shot a season-low 25.4% from the field, but still managed to cut the deficit to just four points late in the fourth quarter. Despite 27 points, nine rebounds, and three assists from junior Feyonda Fitzgerald, the team was unable to complete the comeback.
