With construction still going on around them and the sun beating down on a hot day, Temple men’s soccer topped Lafayette 1-0 in an exhibition match at their new home in the city on Monday.
Rookie midfielder Zach Brown scored the game’s lone goal in the 78th minute, making a great run into the box to connect on a goal to the far post after senior captain Matt Mahoney served in a ball from the right flank.
Brown, a substitute, looked good in his debut for the Owls patrolling the middle of the field and starting a couple of counter attacks.
