Get Stops they did.
Â

The Tigers ran off 13 straight points in the first quarter and eventually held a 20-9 lead after 10 minutes. Temple made a push, using an 8-1 spurt over the final two minutes of the second quarter to cut the deficit to three, 28-25, at the break.
Â

Â
The Tigers quickly scored the first four points of the fourth stanza and kept the Owls from closing the gap within single digits the rest of the way.

Julia Cunningham added 13 points and nine caroms while Ellie Mitchell posted her ninth career double-double (12 points, 15 rebounds). Morton also a new personal mark with 13 points on 4-of-6 from the floor.
Â
The Tigers outrebounded the Owls, 51-28. Chet Nweke grabbed a team-high four offensive rebounds, securing five overall, adding nine points.
