The Temple women’s basketball team continued its momentum Saturday, extending its winning streak to nine games with a 58-49 victory on the road at Tulsa.

The Owls’ record stands at 13-3 overall, with a 4-0 mark in the American Athletic Conference.

Their winning streak began Dec. 10 with a win over Villanova 83-48.
