Tulsa's ninth-ranked men's soccer team captured a 3-2 win over Temple on Saturday night at the Temple Sports Complex in Philadelphia, Pa. The Golden Hurricane moved to 8-2-2 on the season and 4-2-1 in American Athletic Conference play, while the Owls fell to 4-8-2 overall and 1-6 in the league.

"Getting a road win in the league as we've seen hasn't been easy," Head Coach Tom McIntosh said. "We played a team tonight that is very hot. They've played well in their last two games and we knew it was going to be a tough game coming here. I thought we controlled the ball very well in the first half, we were in good control of the game and did an excellent job on the free kick. The most disappointing part was giving away the first goal, but real credit to the guys and getting scored on, coming back, getting scored on and coming back. They did a good job of refusing to lose so I'm proud of their mind set and effort, and the fact that we came here and got a win."

Tulsa will return to action on Friday, October 28 against SMU beginning at 6:00 pm at the Hurricane Soccer and Track Stadium.
