Owls hope to move past semifinal shortcomings in 2025-26 season

Owls Hope to Overcome Semifinal Shortcomings

Temple Women's Basketball is gearing up for the 2025-26 season with a revamped roster and a challenging non-conference schedule, aiming to make a push for the American Conference Championship game.

The team, led by head coach Diane Richardson, is looking to break the pattern of being eliminated by Rice in the conference tournament semifinals for the past two years. Richardson's team has won 20 games in each of the last two seasons, a feat they had not achieved since 2014-17.

Key returners for the Owls include guards Tristen Taylor and Kaylah Turner, as well as forward Jaleesa Molina. With a renewed sense of determination, Temple hopes to end the narrative of being ousted by a lower-seeded Rice team and make a deeper run in the tournament.

"Richardson’s team has endured that outcome in the last two years in the American Conference Tournament semifinals."
