Temple took its first lead of Saturday’s game against Lafayette College with 33 seconds left in the first half. At halftime, coach Bonnie Rosen told her team that the game wasn’t going to be about strategy, but rather about playing together.
The Owls responded by holding Lafayette scoreless for the final 10 minutes and 39 seconds of the game to come away with an 18-12 win at Howarth Field.
“The victory at the end didn’t feel much different than a one-goal win, to be honest,” Rosen said. “I’m really happy we came away with the win, but we still have so much we have to keep working on.
