TEMPLE VS. TULANETemple holds a 3-1 lead in the all-time series with Tulane, including winning the earlier meeting thisseason. All four of their meetings have come in The American regular season.

LAST TIME THEY METLast time they met, the Owls jumped out to an 11-point lead and didn't look back, leading from buzzer tobuzzer in an 82-58 win at McGonigle Hall.

Temple used a 16-2 run late in the fourth quarter to knock off Tulane, 72-54 in New Orleans. Temple ledby 13 points after the first half, and then survived an 11-0 run from Tulane between the third and fourthquarters. Temple then used that one last surge to finish off the Green Wave on their home court.

Four Owls finished in double-figures in scoring, led by 22 from Alliya Butts. Tanaya Atkinson finishedwith 17 points and seven rebounds, while Feyonda Fitzgerald had 12 points and five boards.

NOTES FROM THE RECORD-SETTING HEARTBREAKER• Temple’s five overtime clash at Memphis on Thursday tied an NCAA record for the longest ever

women’s game. The affair tied Drexel and Northeastern's 2007 game in which the Dragons came out ontop, 98-90.• The game was the first overtime game of the season for Temple. The last ovetime game the Owls

played was in the semifinals of the 2015 WNIT, when Temple fell at West Virginia. • If the game went to a sixth overtime session, the Owls would have had just five eligible players, as

five of Temple's 10 players fouled out.• Tanaya Atkinson's 20 rebounds were the most for the program since Rhonda Bates had 23 in a 1990

game against George Washington.• The 197 total points scored was a Temple program record, surpassing 188 in the Owls' 97-91 win over

Florida on November 13, 2015 (prior to that, the previous record of 186 had stood for 33 years).• The 97 combined points in overtime broke the NCAA record. The previous mark was 83 by Kentucky and

Baylor on Dec. 6, 2013, in a four overtime game.

PLAY4KAYTemple will host its annual Play4Kay game on February 23 against Tulane. The game honors former N.C.State coach Kay Yow who passed away in 2009 after a long battle with breast cancer. The Kay Yow Can-cer Fund, in partnership with the Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) and The V Founda-tion, is a 501 (c)(3) charitable organization committed to being a part of finding an answer in the fightagainst women's cancers through raising money for scientific research, assisting the underserved andunifying people for a common cause.

NATIONALLY-RANKED FOESTemple is now 1-3 against nationally ranked teams this season. The owls fell to #13/14 Florida State inDecember and then to #1 UConn in both January and February. The Owls got into the win column againstTop-25 teams on Saturday, picking up a 68-66 win against #19/17 USF. As it stands right now, Temple

will face nationally ranked opponents once, a regular-season match-up on the road at current #21USF.

The Owls also own a win against a team currently appearing in the Top-25, as Temple topped Florida,97-91, to open the season. The Gators were not nationally ranked at the time, but have since risen to#24 in the AP Poll and #25 in the USA Today poll.

Prior to Temple’s win over #19/17 USF, the last time that Temple defeated a nationally-ranked teamwas during the 2008-09 season. The Owls topped No. 13 Xavier, 74-65 at home on February 25. The last time that a Temple team was nationally ranked was the 2005-06 season when the Owlsclosed out the year ranked No. 19 (AP) and No. 23 (USA Today) in the final poll. Temple’s highest evernational ranking came during 2004-05 season when the Owls reached No. 15 on both polls.

RPI RISINGDespite a loss at Mephis, Temple’s RPI is now at 66, the third-highest of any team in the AmericanAthletic Conference. The Owls were ranked as low as 183 this season, but have skyrocketed withsome key victories in 2016. Temple sits behind UConn (2) and USF (42) in conference leaders in RPI.

STREAKING OWLSTemple’s six game winning streak that was snapped by UConn was the longest for the program sincethe 2011-12 season. That year, the Owls racked up 14-straight victories, with 12 coming against At-lantic 10 opponents and two coming against Philadelphi Big 5 foes. That Temple team finished theregular season ranked first in the conference, but fell in the conference finals, 66-63 to Dayton.

TAKING CARE OF THE BALLWhen Temple topped Cincinnati on February 9, the Owls turned the ball over just four times in thegame, a season low. The Owls bestest their previous season-low of nine turnovers in a loss againstPenn.

The four turnovers marked the lowest for the program in 12 years. It was Temple’s cleanest gamesince turning the ball over only three times against Villanova on December 21, 2004, and was the firsttime that the team had recorded less than five turnovers since that game.

SHORTAGE OF THREESTemple hit a season-low two three pointers in their latest match-up against SMU, going 2-for-16 fromlong-range. That tied Temple’s two threes made (2-for-10) against Villanova on December 2, as thelowest total from beyond-the arc. However, in both games where Temple only collected two from be-yond-the-arc, the Owls grabbed wins. Temple beat Villanova, 61-55, and topped SMU, 55-35.

WHERE DO THEY RANKTemple has two players in the top-15 in the conference in scoring, as Butts ranks fifth (15.6 ppg) andFitzgerald ranks 12th (13.5 ppg). Butts is second in the conference in steals per game (2.8) andFitzgerald ranks third in assists per game (5.1). Covile also ranks first in the conference in a category,topping the league in free throw shooting, making 87.0% (60-69) of her attempts.

Temple also has three players that that rank in the top-15 in rebounding, as Covile ranks eighth (7.2),Fountain ranks 10th (6.7 rpg), and Atkinson ranks 12th (6.5 rpg).

Nationally, Butts’ 72 steals ranks her 20th and Fitzgerald’s total assists number is 51st in the country.

As a team, Temple is in the top-three in The American in scoring offense, scoring defense, blockedshots, and steals.

NUMBER 1000 FOR FEEJunior Feyonda Fitzgerald notched her 1,000th career point against SMU, pulling up for a mid-rangejumper early in the first quarter. The guard became the 22nd player in program history to top the1,000-point mark.

She later added 11 points and 11 assists at East Carolina on January 30, to account for hersecond.

STELLAR SOPHOMORES AGAINST HOUSTONTemple sophomores Tanaya Atkinson and Donnaizha Fountain both had career games in a winagainst Houston on February 12. Atkinson poured in an all-time best 27 points (besting her pre-vious best of 24), while Fountain had career-highs with 20 points and 15 rebounds.

CAREER DAYS AGAINST CINCYTemple senior Erica Covile has a career-high total of 15 rebounds in a game, a feat that she’s ac-complished twice in her time in cherry and white. Both of Covile’s career rebounding numbershave come against the same team -- Cincinnati. The guard pulled down 15 b oards against theBearcats on January 3, 2015 and then matched that this season, notching 15 at Cincinnati onFebruary 9, 2016.

MAKE YOUR FREE THROWS, WIN THE GAMETemple’s free throw shooting has been up and down this season, with 12 games over 70% and12 games under. In the 12 games the team has connected on 70% or more from the charitystripe, the Owls have won 10 of them. The outliers? A 61-51 loss at Rutgers where the Owls went9-of-11 (81.8%), and a 85-60 loss to #1 UConn where Temple finished 8-of-9 (88.9%).

MILESTONES APPROACHTemple has already had one player join the 1,000-point club this season (Feyonda Fitzgerald)and could add another before the year is finished. Senior Erica Covile has 978 career points, andis averaging 9.3 points per game this season, 9.0 points per game in her career. With 22 pointsleft, it would take her around three more games to reach the milestone. Temple is guaranteed atleast four more contests this season.

Sophomore Alliya Butts recently recorded her 100th career three pointer, and now sits in 6thplace on Temple’s all-time list with 133. She is on pace to pass former teammate and currentgraduate assistant, Tyonna Williams ‘15, for the program’s all-time mark (171) by her junior year. As a program, Temple is also approaching a milestone. The Owls have 798 total victories in the74-year history of the program. Temple’s record over the past 74 seasons is 798-652 (.550).

SUNDAY STRUGGLESTemple grabbed its first Sunday win of the season in four games when the Owls toppedCincinnati on Sunday, January 10. Prior to that win, Temple had played three Sunday gamesgoing 0-3, with losses to Rutgers, Saint Joseph’s, and Florida State.

SPREADING THE LOVEIn Temple’s 66-46 win over Tulsa on January 8, 10 different Owls broke into the scoring col-umn. Nine players had scored in previous games against Quinnipiac (L, 58-56), Sacred Heart(W, 92-62), and Delaware State (W, 100-59), but this was the first time in the 2015-16 seasonthat 10 players scored. The lowest number of scorers Temple has had in a game this seasonwas four in a 61-51 loss at Rutgers.

Last season, Temple only carried nine players on its roster, so the last time a cherry and whitebox score had 10 players score points was January 9, 2014 in a 64-51 win over Memphis.

TEMPLE IN THE AMERICANTemple embarks on its third season of American Athletic Conference play, a year after going12-6 against league opponents. The Owls finished fourth in The American in 2014-15, and fellto #5 ECU (77-71) in the quarterfinals of the conference tournament.

CANADA TRANSFERSTemple freshman Chyanna Canada has transferred out of the Owls’ program. The 6-2 forwardleft Temple following the completion of the fall semester. Canada had seen limited action forthe Owls, playing in three total games, scoring two points.

KEEPING IT OUTSIDEBefore getting to the line for 24 attempts against Delaware State, Temple had attempted lessthan 12 free throws for three-straight contests. In a loss to Florida State, the Owls attemptedjust three (making two), in a 75-47 loss. Against Sacred Heart, the Owls went 4-for-9 from theline, but were hot from three, contributing to the 92-62 win. Temple got to the line only 11times against Fordham, making seven of their attempts. For the season, the Owls are ninth inthe conference (out of 11 teams) in free throws attempted.

LEADING THE STAT LINEWith her stat line against Rutgers (27 points, nine rebounds, three assist), Feyonda Fitzgeraldbecame the first Temple player since 2011 to lead the team in points, rebounds, and assists.The last player to accomplish that feat for the Owls was Shey Peddy, who totaled 26 points, 9rebounds, and four assists in a 61-52 win at Duquesne on February 5, 2011.

STORY LINESsquad defeated an opponent by that margin since a 33-point win over Cincinnati on January 20,2015. Leading to the offense outburst, were 38 total field goals, while a season-best 52.1% fromthe field. The Owls also shot 50% from three (12-24) for first time since Valentine’s Day last sea-son when Temple went 7-for-12 (58.3%) from long range against Houston.

The Temple shooting numbers benefitted from a season-best 28 assists against Sacred Heart. The28 helpers marked the first time that the Owls had over 25 since the 2011 season (27 at GeorgeWashington - 2/16/11). The Owls also had 15 steals for the first time this season.DOMINATING DELAWARE STATETemple’s 100-59 victory over Delaware State hit a number of milestones for the Owls. The triple-digit point total was the first 100-point game for the program in 21 years. Temple last hit the 100-point mark when it scored 102 in a win over Rutgers on March 3, 1994.

The 41-point win was also the first 40+ point victory for the program in three years. The last time aTemple team beat a team by 40 or more was when the Owls topped Rhode Island, 84-41, on Feb-ruary 19, 2012.

REBOUNDING IS KEYFive out of the first six Temple wins this season all had one thing in common: the Owls out-re-bounded their opponents. Temple is 7-2 when recording better rebounding numbers this season,and is 2-3 when being out-rebounded.

For the season, the Owls have a rebounding margin of +3.0, thanks in large part to out-rebound-ing Sacred Heart, 47-21. The +26 rebounding margin in that game was the highest all season, andit marked the first time that Temple had a 20 or more rebound advantage in a game since out-re-bounding Duquesne by 25 on February 17, 2010.

WORK HORSESJunior Feyonda Fitzgerald and sophomore Alliya Butts combined for 45 of the team’s 51 againstRutgers, but both also played nearly the whole game. Fitzgerald recorded her third career gamewithout a break, playing all 40 minutes against the Scarlet Knights. Butts established a near ca-reer high of 37 minutes played in a game, one she set just a few days before, seeing 36 minutesof action against La Salle.

PHILADELPHIA BIG 5Temple won its Philadelphia Big 5 opener for the third-straight season, with all three wins comingagainst La Salle.

Last season, Temple finished 1-3 in the Big 5, topping La Salle, but falling to St. Joseph’s, Vil-lanova, and Penn. The Owls combined point differential in the three Big 5 losses last season wasjust 11 points, with an average margin of victory of 3.67 points, including one overtime loss.

This season, Temple is 2-2 in the Big 5, after losses to Penn and Saint Joseph’s and wins over LaSalle and Villanova.

50 AT THE HALFTemple led Florida 50-40 at the half in the season-opener, marking the first time that the Owlshave scored 50 points in a half since 2011. The last time that the Owls accomplished that feat waswhen the team netted 52 against George Washington on February 16, 2011. Despite only scoring37 second-half points in that game, Temple went on to it, 89-36, marking the second largest mar-gin of victory in program history.

THE LAST TIME AN OWL...



Tonya Cardoza is in her eighth season on North BroadStreet, continuing and building upon the success of Templewomen’s basketball.

The 2014-15 Owls showed that they are ready to makea return to the national stage. Cardoza's squad made thefirst post-season final four in program history, advancingto the WNIT semifinals before falling in overtime at WestVirginia. The Owls finished with a 20-win season, going 20-17 overall, including a 12-6 mark in the tough American Ath-letic Conference. The 2014-15 season saw the breakout offreshman Alliya Butts, who was named Big 5 Freshman ofthe Year, while also earning spots on the American All-Con-ference team, the American All-Rookie team, and the All-Big 5 team. Junior combo guard Erica Covile also receivedAll-Big 5 and All-American Athletic Conference honors,while senior Tyonna Williams earned the American Sports-manship Award, as well as one of six spots on the All-WNITteam.

2013-14 marked a new era of women’s basketball atTemple for Cardoza— competing in the inaugural season ofthe American Athletic Conference. Guided by true freshmanpoint guard Feyonda Fitzgerald, the Owls faced seven na-tionally ranked opponents— tying the school record for themost in season— including two games against defendingnational champion and No. 1 Connecticut and Final Fourparticipant Louisville. The young Owls finished fifth inAmerican play after predicted to finish ninth, showing theleague and the nation that they had fight.

Fitzgerald was a unanimous All-Freshman Team hon-oree from the conference as well as a second-team All-Con-ference selection. Junior Rateska Brown earned theAmerican’s inaugural Sixth Player of the Year Award. SeniorNatasha Thames was a second-team All-Conference hon-oree, and freshman Taylor Robinson was named to the All-Freshman team.

The 2010-11 Atlantic 10 Coach of the Year, Cardoza ledthe Owls to three consecutive NCAA Tournament appear-ances, advancing to the Second Round in both 2010 and2011. The Owls narrowly missed earning a berth in theNCAA Tournament in 2011-12, but took a top spot in theWomen’s National Invitation Tournament (WNIT) and ad-vanced to the third round.

Along with earning Atlantic 10 Coach of the Year hon-ors for the Owls' performance in 2010-11, Cardoza was hon-ored as the Big 5 Coach of the Year for a third time. Sheearned that honor in each of her first three seasons at Tem-ple, and the Owls earned their sixth straight Big 5 title inher first year with the program. Temple won the Big 5 againin 2011, and finished as runner-up in both 2010 and 2012.

Already 107-57 all-time in her head coaching career,Cardoza led Temple to at least 20 wins in her first four yearsat the helm. During her inaugural season in 2008-09, Car-doza guided TU to a 21-10 mark and an NCAA?Tournamentappearance. She was a finalist for the National RookieCoach of the Year award. The Owls reached 25 wins in2009-10 which tied for the second-most in the history ofthe program. In 2010-11, the Owls finished 24-9 which in-cluded a 15-game win streak and a 13-1 record in the At-lantic 10. The 2011-12 season saw Temple go 23-10 and win

14 in a row, once again with a 13-1 mark in the conference.During their final year of Atlantic 10 Conference play in2012-13, Cardoza guided the nation’s second-youngestteam (six freshmen).

After spending 14 years as assistant coach at the Uni-versity of Connecticut under Hall of Fame coach Geno Au-riemma, a tenure in which she helped the Huskies to fiveNational Championships, few doubted that Cardoza hadwhat it takes to build a successful program.

The Owls finished in the Top 3 in the Atlantic 10 forthree consecutive seasons. In Cardoza’s first season shecoached the squad to an upset over No. 13 Xavier, makingher the first coach in TU women’s basketball history toupset a ranked team during her rookie season.

Cardoza was instrumental in All-Conference selectionLaKeisha Eaddy’s transition to point guard in 2008-09,nearly helping the upperclassman set a new single seasonrecord for assists. Cardoza also retained then-freshman re-cruit Kristen McCarthy, who was named to the A-10 FirstTeam in 2010, as well as taking home the title of Big 5Player of the Year.

Cardoza's best recruit had to sit out a year after trans-ferring from Division I Wright State in 2009, but Shey Peddythen became one of the top players in the history of theprogram. Peddy took home both the Atlantic 10 Player ofthe Year and Defensive Player of the Year awards in 2012,and was named the Big 5 Player of the Year for a secondstraight time. Peddy was a two-time Atlantic 10 First Teamselection and made her mark on the all-time career recordlists despite playing only two years with the Owls. Peddybecame Cardoza’s first WNBA draft pick (as a head coach)when she was taken 23rd overall in the 2012 WNBA Draftby the Chicago Sky.

Arriving at Connecticut at the start of the 1994-95season, Cardoza helped guide the Huskies to an unprece-dented 465-41 record, seven Final Four appearances andsix No. 1 National Rankings in the final Associated Presspoll. Cardoza was a part of four undefeated regular sea-sons, including two unbeaten national championshipteams in 1994-95 and 2001-02. The Huskies also won aNCAA record 70 consecutive games from 2001 to 2003. InBig East play, the team won 12 regular-season titles and 12conference tournament championships.

Cardoza worked primarily with the guards at UConn,producing numerous All-America and All-BIG EAST perform-ers, including WNBA stars Sue Bird, Renee Montgomery,and Diana Taurasi.

A 1991 University of Virginia graduate with a degreein anthropology, Cardoza starred for the Cavaliers, leadingthe team to four consecutive NCAA National Tournamentappearances. As a senior, she led Virginia in scoring (15.5ppg), and tied Dawn Staley for the rebounding lead (6.1rpg) while earning the following honors: Kodak HonorableMention All-America; Kodak First Team All-District III; FirstTeam All-Atlantic Coast Conference; NCAA Final Four All-Tournament Team, and NCAA Regional All-TournamentTeam. She was also a First Team All-ACC pick in 1988-89.

Cardoza played in 121 games for UVa and graduatedranked third on the career steals list (375), fifth on the

school's career blocked shots list (110), eighth in points(1,622) and 10th in rebounds (667).

In 2002, Cardoza was named to the ACC 50th Anniver-sary Women’s Basketball Team along with seven other for-mer Cavaliers including Staley.

Cardoza played professional basketball in Segovia,Spain, before taking the job at Connecticut.
