When Saturday’s game ended, Temple fans hugged each other and cheered while the players swarmed graduate attacker Brenda McDermott before chanting, “I believe we have won.”
With two minutes, 44 seconds left in the second half, Marquette University sophomore midfielder Grace Gabriel tied the game. McDermott got a shot off with 10 seconds left, but it was high.
With 1:18 left in overtime, redshirt-freshman goalkeeper Kelsea Hershey made a save to keep the game going. McDermott got the ball from redshirt-freshman defender Taylor Gooch and got another chance to win the game with 19 seconds left. This time the ball went in the back of the net and Temple (8-2, 1-1 Big East Conference) came away with a 17-16 victory against Marquette.
