It was a tale of two halves for Temple.
After looking stagnant offensively and falling behind early in Tuesday’s game against Rider at Ambler Sports Complex, the Owls were able to regroup in the second half and pick up a 3–1 come-from-behind win. Last season, the Owls won two games.
Junior midfielder Jorge Gomez Sanchez had two second-half goals, and Dinho Zwane rounded out the scoring for Temple, who are now 3–0-1.
“We had to get control of the game,” coach David MacWilliams said. “You can’t give [Rider] the possession they had in the first half, so we wanted to tighten things up and squeeze the midfield a little bit more.
