The women’s soccer team will play its final road match of the regular season when the Owls take on Saint Louis Sunday at 1 p.m.

Along with the Owls last match on the road, it will also be the last time the Billikens play at home at Saint Louis’s Hernmann Stadium.

After falling 2-1 in the final three minutes of Friday’s loss to Butler, the Owls will look to play consistent the entire game without making simple mistakes, coach Matt Gwilliam said.

“We are just going to go out there and try to get the win,” Gwilliam said.

The Owls seem to share the same offensive struggles that the Billikens have, as Saint Louis has notched nine goals this season, while Temple has notched 10.

Saint Louis junior forward has led the Billikens this season with two goals, two assists, six points and 26 shots.

Temple will enter the match with a 5-10-2 record this season (2-4-0 Atlantic 10 Conference), while Saint Louis will begin play with a 3-8-4 record (1-3-2 A-10).

Both Saint Louis and Temple are in need of a win in order to remain in the hunt for the A-10 tournament, as the Billikens currently sit 14th in the standings, while the Owls are 12th in the A-10 of the 16 teams in the conference.

“We are trying to get as many wins as possible so every match counts right now,” freshman defender Paula Jurewicz said.

The women’s soccer team will open its final road weekend of the regular season when the Owls take on new Atlantic 10 Conference opponent Butler Friday at 7 p.m in Indianapolis, Ind.

For the Owls, it will be their second game under the lights this season, as Temple dropped its first match 2-0 under the lights at Penn on Sept. 2. Along with playing under the lights, the Bulldogs will be honoring Breast Cancer Awareness Month with “Real Dawgs Wear Pink Night” at Butler.

“It is going to be a difficult game and Butler is a very good team,” coach Matt Gwilliam said. “But we are ready for the challenge.”

The Owls will enter Friday’s match with a 5-9-2 record, 2-3-0 in A-10 play, while Butler will open with a 8-4-3 record, 2-1-2 against A-10 opponents. In nine matches at home, Butler has compiled a 6-1-2 record, while Temple is 2-5-1 on the road this season.

“Butler is a very organized team, a very physical team, a mentally strong team, and they create a good atmosphere at home,” Gwilliam said.

“I am expecting for us to go out there and get the win,” freshman defender Paula Jurewicz said.
