Tigers shut out Tem-Cats, 4-0

Playing defense is never a bad thing. However, playing too much of it can be. The Temple girls soccer team learned that lesson Tuesday night, as the Tem-Cats fell to the Round Rock Stony Point Tigers 4-0 at a muddy Woodson Field. The Tigers controlled the game, especially the territorial battle. And that field-position advantage proved critical, especially in the second half with the Tem-Cats (2-5) trailing by a goal and fighting for the equalizer. "We were playing decently well, but we were definitely defensive, especially throughout the second half," Temple coach Kevin Korompai said. "We just had troubles getting it out of our half of the field." The Tem-Cats trailed 1-0 at the half and had their best scoring chance 15 minutes into the second half. Forward Megan Richardson raced with the ball down the left side of the field and bore in on Stony Point goalie Erin Stigler. However, Richardson's shot from just outside the left post was gobbled up by Stigler. A few minutes later, Stony Point's Kayla Chalman gave the Tigers the breathing room they needed. She beat Temple goalie Kristin Foulks with an overhead shot from the edge of the penalty area that went just inside the left post. Jill Freidel then scored two goals in the final 15 minutes to ice the game for the Tigers. By Greg Rajan
