Temple Women's Basketball is gearing up for the 2025-26 season with a revamped roster and a challenging non-conference schedule, aiming to reach the American Conference Championship game.
Head coach Diane Richardson is determined to change the team's fate after losing to Rice in the conference tournament semifinals for two consecutive years. Richardson's team has won 20 games in each of the last two seasons, a feat they had not achieved since 2014-17.
The Owls are led by returning guards Tristen Taylor and Kaylah Turner, and forward Jaleesa Molina. With their revamped roster, Temple hopes to end their narrative of being eliminated by a lower-seeded Rice team.
"Richardson’s team has endured that outcome in the last two years in the American Conference Tournament semifinals."
