Temple Women's Basketball Looks 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 seeking to overcome its semifinal shortcomings, having been eliminated by Rice in the last two seasons. Richardson's team has won 20 games in each of the past two seasons, a feat not achieved since 2014-17.
Richardson's team has endured the outcome of being tossed out of the conference tournament by a lower-seeded Rice team in the last two years.
The Owls' returners, including guards Tristen Taylor and Kaylah Turner, and forward Jaleesa Molina, will be key to the team's success. With a new roster and tough schedule, Temple hopes to end its narrative of semifinal losses and make a deeper run in the tournament.
