Temple continues their unbeaten streak getting a scoreless draw at Tulsa. The streak stands at 5 in a row.
Villanova has another game to play, but will not be going to the post-season. The Wildcats lost 2 – 0 to Georgetown, the regular season champions of the Big East. It was the second time in two games that Nova has given up more than one goal in a home game.
The season came to an end for the Drexel Dragons and the Saint Joseph’s Hawks. Drexel did get a 2 – 1 win over Lafayette in a non-conference game, but it was a 2 – 1 loss to Delaware that ended their CAA Tournament hopes. The Blue Hens scored the winning goal in the 80th minute. The Hawks dropped a 1 – 0 decision at UMass who scored early in the second half.
This week Temple hosts #12 SMU with their unbeaten streak on the line. La Salle starts A10 Tournament play at Dayton. Villanova goes to Seton Hall to end the regular season.
