Despite a career-high 17 saves from sophomore goalkeeper Jordan Nash, the Owls fell in their American Athletic Conference opener at the Temple Sports Complex, losing 1-0 to Memphis on a rainy Thursday afternoon.
The Owls (3-8, 0-1 The American) struggled to get going on offense against Memphis. Temple managed to keep the game tied through the first half, despite Memphis outshooting the Owls 13-1 in the first 45 minutes. The Owls’ defense conceded the game’s lone goal 11 minutes after halftime.
Nash kept Temple in the game, recording 10 saves in the first half alone.
“I thought she was outstanding,” coach Seamus O’Connor said.
