Before the start of the 2007 season, I could never have imagined the women’s basketball team doing as well as it did.
No one could. The Owls were predicted to finished fourth in the Atlantic Ten Conference.
Man, was that wrong. The team finished first in the A-10 and advanced to the A-10 Championship game. And though [...]

Ice. Cold.
The women’s basketball team shot just 25 percent from the field as they lost to Xavier, 47-42, in the Atlantic Ten Conference Championship game Monday evening at Alumni Memorial Fieldhouse on the campus of Saint Joseph’s University.
Senior guard Ashley Morris had a disastrous night shooting the ball, finishing a paltry 4-for-20 in the contest. [...]

Though they’ve played in an Atlantic Ten Conference Championship game three out of their four years at Temple, seniors Ashley Morris and Lady Comfort faced a completely different title experience this season.
In 2008, Morris and Comfort were at the head of the realm. And although the teammates produced more than they did in 2006, the [...]

With 6-foot-5 sophomore Amber Harris and [...]

Before graduating in 2005, Ari Moore had the opportunity to experience two Atlantic Ten Conference championships in 2002 and 2004.
Though she’s been done with classes at Temple, she is frequently back on campus or with the women’s basketball team during road games.
Moore was in attendance Sunday at Saint Joseph’s Alumni Memorial Fieldhouse, when the No. [...]

The delay due to the leak at the start of Saturday’s games did not affect Dayton at all. In fact, the Flyers looked like they wanted to be responsible for creating more of a delay by making their own rain. That is, raining in threes over Charlotte.
No. 5 Dayton shot 11-21 – 52 percent – [...]

Who says a basketball game indoors can’t suffer a rain delay?
Due to a leak in the roof of Saint Joseph’s Alumni Memorial Fieldhouse, the starts of all of Saturday’s Atlantic Ten Conference Tournament games were forced to begin late.
The first contest of the day between No. 1 Temple and No. 8 Richmond, a game which [...]

There was a rain delay.
At a basketball game.
Due to a leak in the roof of Alumni Memorial Fieldhouse, the women’s basketball team’s Atlantic Ten Conference Championship quarterfinal game with Richmond was delayed nearly 90 minutes before finally getting underway.
And after the very long, tedious delay on a very wet and rainy Saturday afternoon in Philadelphia, [...]
