While it was all tied up 1-1 at halftime, Temple was not quite New Manchester's equal in the second half on Thursday. They fell just short of the New Manchester Jaguar by a score of 2-1. The Tigers were given a dose of their own medicine in this game as the Jaguar apparently hadn't forgotten their loss the last time these teams played back in February of 2023.
Temple's goal came courtesy of Jalen Wirth, who's now up to nine this season.
Temple has traveled a rocky road recently, having lost three of their last four contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 2-3 record this season. New Manchester now has a winning record of 3-2.
Looking ahead, Temple will square off against Mt. Zion at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. Temple will be up against Mt. Zion's rather soft defense (which has allowed 3.67 goals per game), so fans could be in store for a big offensive performance.
