Temple Owls Fall to #13 Maryland in Season‑Opening Clash

The Temple Owls opened their 2026 campaign with a 3‑1 loss to the Maryland Terrapins, who entered the match ranked thirteenth nationally. Maryland’s early pressure paid off, as they outshot Temple 5‑0 in the first quarter and built a lead that would prove decisive. The turning point came in the second quarter when Francisca Eschoyez opened the scoring for Maryland, extending their advantage before halftime. Aida Ierubino added a second goal just before the break, putting the Terrapins comfortably ahead. Temple managed to respond in the third quarter, with Lucia Magro converting a penalty stroke to bring the score to 2‑1, sparking hope among the Owls’ fans. However, Maryland’s dominance on penalty corners — nine to one — and a relentless attack resulted in two more goals in the final quarter, sealing a 3‑1 victory. Despite the loss, the Owls remain 1‑1 in Big East play and will look to rebound when they travel to face Lafayette on September 4 at 6 p.m. in Easton, Pennsylvania.
