9.3.17 | Women's Soccer
PHILADELPHIA - The Temple women's soccer team (3-3-0) picked up their second home victory in a row, as the Owls got a 2-0 win over Mount St. Mary's (3-3-0) on Sunday. In her second career start, sophomore goalkeeper Morgan Basileo got her second win and helped the Owls get their first shutout of season with seven saves.
Keys to the Match
> The Owls started things off in the 15th minute when senior Gabriella McKeown scored her first goal of the season off an assist from freshman Emma Wilkins.
> McKeown scored again in the 35th minute off an assist from junior Kerri McGinley to put the Owls up 2-0.
> Basileo was tested early and made five crucial saves in the first half to keep the Mountaineers scoreless.
> Basileo and the Temple defense fended off nine shots in the second half to preserve the shutout win.
Match Notes
> In her second career start, Basileo got her second win and first career shutout.
> The shutout was the Owls' first since last year when they defeated NJIT, 2-0, on Sept. 18.
> After the first six games, the Owls now have three wins, which matches the total number of wins they had all of last season.
> McKeown scored her first two goals of the season in the contest. She was the team's leader in points last year with 10.
> With McGinley and Wilkins recording assists today, they both still lead the team in points with five.
> With the win today, Temple now leads Mount St. Mary's 5-1 in the all-time series.
Quotable
> "I'm very proud of our defense," said Temple head coach Seamus O'Connor. "Our four defenders, goalie, and defensive midfielders did a great job. It's something that we've working on a lot in practices and we've been getting back to playing our style of defense."
> "I'm very pleased with Morgan Basileo," said O'Connor. "She's worked very hard in the offseason and in practice. She had a lot more confidence and her communication with the defenders was great."
> "I was very pleased with Gabriella McKeown as well." said O'Connor. "Once you get her in the right spot and get her confidence going, she's tough to defend. She's a player that's been everywhere for us and were extremely lucky to have her as a leader on our team."
Up Next
> The Owls will be off for twelve days before traveling to Towson to take on the Tigers on Sept. 15 with a 3:00 p.m. start time.
