Temple and Butler University each came into Wednesday’s game with streaks.
Temple (12-2, 5-1 Big East Conference) was hoping to continue its four-game winning streak, while the Bulldogs were looking to end their seven-game skid. An offensive outburst that included 11 first-half goals and 11 different goal-scorers led to Temple’s 19-7 win at Howarth Field.
Temple improves to 7-0 at home. The Owls haven’t lost a home game since their overtime game against Connecticut on April 13, 2016 at Geasey Field. The Owls are ranked 14th in the Ratings Percentage Index and receiving votes in the Inside Lacrosse poll.
