Cardoza’s squad wins ninth straight game
Temple extended its win streak to nine games with a 58-49 road victory against Tulsa on Saturday at the Reynolds Center.
Three Owls shouldered the bulk of Temple’s (13-3, 4-0 American Athletic Conference) points. Senior guard Feyonda Fitzgerald and junior guard Donnaizha Fountain each scored 19 points. Fountain also knocked down two of Temple’s three baskets from behind the arc.
Junior guard Alliya Butts also got in on the scoring with 13 points. The three guards accounted for nearly 90 percent of Temple’s offense.
Temple had a three-point halftime lead and opened the third quarter with a 7-0 run, thanks to Butts and Fountain. The Owls never trailed in the second half.
