Quotable
"I'm disappointed. I thought our players fought hard and played well, but again it came down to missed opportunities tonight," said Temple head coach Seamus O'Connor. "I thought our back four did a great job of preventing their attack for most of the match. They just cashed in on some key opportunities during the game and that was the difference."
