Tem-Cats, Tigers get splits
Published: January 13, 2001
After the Tem-Cats' 3-1 loss to Nacogdoches in their first game of the sixth annual Temple Tournament Friday afternoon at the Korompai Soccer Complex, Temple soccer coach Kevin Korompai was not very happy.But those frustrations turned into cheers and jubilations Friday night as the Tem-Cats (2-3) cruised to an easy 5-0 victory over Corsicana at Woodson Field.Against Corsicana, Temple got two first-half goals from junior forward Megan Richardson, and the Tem-Cats exploded for three quick goals in the second half to put the game out of reach. On Richardson's first goal came on an assist from sophomore forward Melisse Buland. Her second came after she took a steal from deep in Corsicana territory, traveled upfield, and rocketed a shot into goal for the score. The Tem-Cats didn't rest comfortably on a 2-0 lead as senior midfielder Renee Owens scored Temple's third goal less than five minutes into second half. by Robert Hollier
