PHILADELPHIA - This past Saturday, the Temple Owls (5-3) hosted the Penn Quakers (3-8) in a physical Big 5 match-up.
Redshirt freshman Damian Dunn led the Owls on the floor with 27 points followed by junior Jake Forrester with 21 points - both career high performances - in Temple's 81-72 victory over Penn. This win marked the Owls second Big 5 win, as Temple defeated La Salle at home last Wednesday, 73-57.
Following the game, Dunn was named Co-Big 5 player of the week, along with Villanova guard Collin Gillespie, after recording 27 points, six rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal in the Owls most recent victory.
