Box Score

PHILADELPHIA – The Memphis Tigers picked up their first American Athletic Conference win of the season Wednesday night in Philadelphia, topping Temple, 2-0.

Memphis improves to 2-6-1 (1-2-0 AAC) on the year, and Temple falls to 1-4-2 (0-3-0 AAC).

KEY MOMENTS

The Tigers got off on the right foot, with Toby McCallum firing home a shot from the top of the box in the 4th minute.
At the 20' mark, Memphis set up for a free kick that was played into the back of the net by Maxi Galizzi to make the score 2-0.
Right at the start of the second half Temple hit the cross bar on a shot, which would have cut the Memphis lead in half.
On the last play of the game Temple hit the post, which preserved the shutout.

The shutout win is Memphis' first of the season and first since a 1-0 blanking at UConn on Oct. 4, 2019.
