For seniors , the time is now or never.

Home sweet home.
Those are three words the men’s and women’s track and field teams haven’t heard in a long time.
This Saturday, though, both squads will compete at the Penn Invitational on the University of Pennsylvania’s campus.
It will be the closest meet they’ve had since Feb. 29, when they competed at the NYU FastTrack. It [...]

Different sport, same result.
Temple continued its recent dominance over city rival Saint Joseph’s last Thursday, this time thanks to a 9-8 victory by the women’s lacrosse team in their Atlantic Ten Conference opener.

Men’s Tennis
The men’s tennis team lost 4-0 to Drexel Sunday at the Cheltenham Tennis Courts. The Dragons won two of three doubles matches.

“When [...]

With all due respect to Lewis Katz and his $10,000 sports attendance increase incentive, what the Board of Trustees member doesn’t realize is that his vision is already happening on Temple’s campus.
Temple saw its average football attendance increase 82.5 percent this fall to 28,858 people per game. Men’s basketball attendance has also risen. Through eight [...]

Both the men’s and women’s tams learned Friday, Jan. 25 that the East Park Canoe House, which they used as a storage and changing facility, has been closed by Philadelphia’s City of Licenses and Inspections because of “severe structural problems.” The more than 80-year-old building, which is owned by the Fairmount Park Commission and is [...]

Most people would assume that an athlete who’s also a psychology major would have a mental edge against her competitors.
Instead of psyching out her opponents, however, Temple junior thrower Amanda Cole psyched out herself at last year’s Atlantic Ten Conference Indoor Track Championship in Kingston, R.I. The New Castle, Del.-native finished fourth and sixth in [...]
