American Athletic Conference - The Temple News

The Owls nearly won the second-to-last point in the third set before eventually losing the frame in their four-set loss to the Shockers.

Wichita State is nationally ranked in its first year in The American and is coming off a win against then No. 8 Creighton University last weekend.

The Owls will be tasked with keeping senior quarterback Quinton Flowers and South Florida’s offense off the field Thursday night in Tampa, Florida.

The Owls open play in The American Friday against first-year league foe and perennial power Wichita State.

Temple recorded its highest sack total in a single game since the 2015 season opener in its win on Friday.

The American Athletic Conference championship will be held at Belmont Plateau in October.

Freshman midfielder Emma Wilkins scored goals in the 34th and 87th minutes for the Owls in their 3-1 home win on Thursday against Rider University.

The Owls will start their season by playing the Fighting Irish, like they did in 2013.

Temple isn’t deterred by its three-game losing streak.

The junior ran a 6,000-meter race in just more than 23 minutes last October in the conference meet.
