TEMPLE WOMEN’S BASKETBALLNEWS AND NOTES

CARDOZA’S CREWIn her ninth season at the helm of Temple women’s basketball is Tonya Cardoza. In her time on North Broad Street, she’s led the Owls to six post-season berths, including three NCAA Tournament appearances and a spot in the WNIT Final Four. The 2011 Atlantic 10 Conference Coach of the Year and three-time Big 5 Coach of the Year notched her 100th career win in 2013 at St. Bonaventure (1/13/13).

Prior to taking the reigns at TU from former college teammate Dawn Staley, Cardoza spent 14 seasons as an assistant coach at UConn with Geno Auriemma. During her tenure, the Huskies captured five national championships.

SCOUTING TEMPLETemple is 16-3 overall with a 6-0 mark in American Athletic Conference play. The Owls have won 12-straight games, a streak that began on December 10 with an 83-48 win at Villanova.

Four Temple players average in double-figures in scoring, led by senior guard Feyonda Fitzgerald’s 18.1 points and 7.5 assists per contest, with the assist number ranked her sixth in the nation. Junior Alliya Butts averages 15.3 points per game with a team-best 32 steals. Junior Donnaizha Fountain averages 13.9 points and 7.9 rebounds per game, while classmate Tanaya Atkinson (12.3 ppg, 8.1 rpg) contributes on both ends of the floor.

Senior Ruth Sherrill has come on strong since breaking into the starting line-up and averages 5.3 points and 7.4 rebounds per game. Junior Khadijah Berger averages 4.0 points and 2.9 boards per game, while senior Safiya Martin (2.0 ppg, 3.3 rpg) tops the team with 23 total blocks.

Temple averages 71.5 points per game, giving up 59.2. The Owls shoot 40.1% from the field and 32.4% from long-range. Temple forces an average of 16.8 turnovers per game, and out-rebounds opponents by a +5.9 margin.

LAST TIME OUTTemple won the 2017 Philadelphia Big 5 Championship with a 63-53 win at Penn on Wednesday night at the Palestra. Though the Owls led for over 35 minutes in the contest, Penn hung around in a gritty game, taking the lead 50-49 with 4:47 left in the fourth. Temple needed one more surge to keep its win streak alive, and the Owls did just that, going on a 12-2 run to finish out the victory.

Junior Donnaizha Fountain led Temple with 20 points and 12 rebounds, recording her fourth double-double of the season, while also adding four steals. Senior Feyonda Fitzgerald notched 13 points and seven assists, while junior Tanaya Atkinson collected 12 points with nine boards.

Against Houston, Fountain led all scorers with 23 points, adding nine rebounds and three steals. In a win over Memphis, she again led all players in scoring, putting up 19 points and adding three boards.

A four-sport student-athlete when she attended Temple in the 1940s, Aggie Stegmuller was a key member of three Owl teams that posted an unblemished 27-0 mark from 1942-43 through 1944-45. A member of the Temple Athletics Hall of Fame, Stegmuller also earned two degrees from the University and was a fixture at all Temple athletics events as a prominent member of the Owl Club before passing away in April of 2010 at the age of 87.

One of the top inside players in Temple women’s basketball history, Lynn Blaszczyk Petruzelli patrolled the paint for the Owls from 1979 through 1983. The Temple Athletics and Philadelphia Big 5 Hall of Famer finished her remarkable career as the school’s second all-time leading scorer with 1,329 points and is still the Owls’ second all-time leading rebounder with 949 rebounds. She is one of only four Temple players to average double figure rebounds for a season.

CONFERENCE OPENERSFor the fourth-straight year, the Owls opened American Athletic Conference play against Memphis. With an overtime win over the Tigers this season, the Owls are now 4-0 in American openers.

In overall conference openers, Temple stands 20-14 overall (since 1983-84) and is currently riding a seven-game winning streak.

FITZGERALD EARNS NATIONAL RECOGNITIONFeyonda Fitzgerald earned national recognition on December 19, being named the National Player of the Week by ESPNW on Monday. The ESPN honor caps a weekly performance that saw her also grab American and Philadelphia Big 5 Player of the Week nods.

The guard led the Owls to a 2-0 record, which included an upset victory over #17/16 DePaul and a win over Rutgers. Fitzgerald averaged 22.0 points, 4.0 assists, and 3.5 steals as Temple moved to 7-3 overall. In the 84-74 win over DePaul, she led all players with 25 points, adding four rebounds, and three assists. Closing the week with a win at Rutgers, Fitzgerald tallied 19 points, six steals and four assists, as Temple topped the Scarlet Knights for the first time in six years. In two games, she shot 47% (15-32) from the field, and her six steals at Rutgers tied a career-best.

GRABBING THAT OT WIN ON THE ROADTemple’s overtime win on the road at Memphis on January 1, was the first for the Owls in eight seasons. Before the extra time win against the Tigers, the last time that a Temple team won an OT game on the road was a 75-71 victory at Tulane on December 28, 2008.

OWLS VS. OWLSThe January 1 game at Kennesaw State was just the third ever Owl vs. Owl meeting in Temple women’s basketball program history.

Seven US colleges claim the Owl as their mascot:• Florida Atlantic (NCAA Div. I)• Keene State (NCAA Div. III)• Kennesaw State (NCAA Div. I)

(1979-2016)

TEMPLE WOMEN’S BASKETBALL• Oregon Institute of Technology (NAIA)• Rice (NCAA Div. I)• Southern Connecticut State (NCAA Div. II)

Temple is now 3-0 against other teams nicknamed the Owls. TU won a pair of one-point games against Southern Connecticut State, one in 1975, and the other in 1983, before topping Kennesaw State by 41 points in January.

DEFENSE WINSTemple played lock-down second-half defense in a win at Rutgers on December 17. The Owls allowed the Scarlet Knights just 11 points in the final 20 minutes of a 48-37 win.

The 37 points that Temple allowed was the best defensive effort for the cherry and white since a 55-35 win over SMU at home on February 3, 2016.

In addition, the four points that Temple allowed in the fourth quarter was the lowest total for Owl opponents this season. It also ties for the second-lowest opponent output in a quarter since the NCAA moved to the four-quarter system.

GLASS MASTERSAfter pulling down a season-best 50 rebounds in a win at Villanova on December 10, Temple topped that number with 51 to upset #17/16 DePaul on December 15.

The last time a Temple team had 50 or more rebounds was February 8, 2016, when the Owls had 63 in a five-overtime, 100-97 loss at Memphis. The last time a Temple team had 50 or more rebounds in a regulation game was when the Owls pulled down 51 vs. Georgetown on November 21, 2014 in an 81-58 win.

Temple’s +23 rebounding margin against Villanova was the largest for the Owls since a +26 margin in a win over Sacred Heart on December 9, 2015.

SHE DOES IT ALLFeyonda Fitzgerald has contributed in all aspects of the game for the Owls during her career. Shooting up the all-time career points and assists chart for Temple, the guard can also be counted on to rebound. Three times in her career, she has led the Owls in points, rebounds, and assists in the same game:• 27 pts, 9 rebounds, 3 assists at Rutgers, 11/22/15• 16 points, 7 rebounds, 7 assists at #20 USF, 2/27/16• 27 points, 9 rebounds, 9 assists vs. La Salle, 11/14/16

Prior to Fitzgerald’s 2015 game against Rutgers where she accomplished the feat, the last Temple player to do it was Shey Peddy in 2011, when she recorded 26 pts, 9 rebounds, and 4 assists vs. Duquesne.

FUTURE FAB FIVETemple has signed five talented recruits to join the Owls for the 2017-

THE TEAM


Tonya Cardoza, Temple women’s bas-ketball’s all-time winningest coach, is in her ninth season as the helm of the Owls. Temple’s 2015-16 season marked the second-straight 20-win campaign, as Cardoza guided the Owls to an overall mark of 23-12. In the tough American Athletic Conference, Temple finished third, compiling an impressive 13-5 record, the best finish for the team in American history. During the regular season, Temple made waves with a six-game win streak, including a thrilling 68-66 win over #20 USF. The culmina-tion of the 2015-16 season again saw the Owls earn a post-season bid. The team advanced to the quarterfinals of the 2016 WNIT, before a narrow 77-76 loss at Michigan. Individually, Cardo-za’s guards again shined, as sopho-more Alliya Butts earned the program’s first American Athletic Conference first team nod, while also being named a first-team All-Big five selection. The 2014-15 Owls showed that they are ready to make a return to the na-tional stage. Cardoza’s squad made the first post-season final four in pro-gram history, advancing to the WNIT semifinals before falling in overtime at West Virginia. The Owls finished with a 20-win season, going 20-17 overall, in-cluding a 12-6 mark in the tough Amer-ican Athletic Conference. The 2014-15 season saw the breakout of Butts, who was named Big 5 Freshman of the Year, while also earning spots on the Amer-ican All-Conference team, the Ameri-can All-Rookie team, and the All-Big 5 team. Junior combo guard Erica Covile also received All-Big 5 and All-Ameri-can Athletic Conference honors, while

senior Tyonna Williams earned the American Sportsmanship Award, as well as one of six spots on the All-WNIT team. 2013-14 marked a new era of wom-en’s basketball at Temple for Cardo-za— competing in the inaugural season of the American Athletic Conference. Guided by true freshman point guard Feyonda Fitzgerald, the Owls faced seven nationally ranked opponents— tying the school record for the most in season— including two games against defending national champion and No. 1 Connecticut and Final Four participant Louisville. The young Owls finished fifth in American play after predicted to finish ninth, showing the league and the nation that they had fight. Fitzgerald was a unanimous All-Freshman Team honoree from the conference as well as a second-team All-Conference selection. Junior Rates-

ka Brown earned the American’s inau-gural Sixth Player of the Year Award. Senior Natasha Thames was a sec-ond-team All-Conference honoree, and freshman Taylor Robinson was named to the All-Freshman team. The 2010-11 Atlantic 10 Coach of the Year, Cardoza led the Owls to three consecutive NCAA Tournament ap-pearances, advancing to the Second Round in both 2010 and 2011. The Owls narrowly missed earning a berth in the NCAA Tournament in 2011-12, but took a top spot in the Women’s National Invitation Tournament (WNIT) and ad-vanced to the third round. Along with earning Atlantic 10 Coach of the Year honors for the Owls’ performance in 2010-11, Cardoza was honored as the Big 5 Coach of the Year for a third time. She earned that honor in each of her first three seasons at Temple, and the Owls earned their sixth straight Big 5 title in her first year with the program. Temple won the Big 5 again in 2011, and finished as run-ner-up in both 2010 and 2012. Cardoza led Temple to at least 20 wins in her first four years at the helm. During her inaugural season in 2008-09, Cardoza guided TU to a 21-10 mark and an NCAA Tournament appear-ance. She was a finalist for the Nation-al Rookie Coach of the Year award. The Owls reached 25 wins in 2009-10 which tied for the second-most in the history of the program. In 2010-11, the Owls finished 24-9 which included a 15-game win streak and a 13-1 record in the Atlantic 10. The 2011-12 season saw Temple go 23-10 and win 14 in a

row, once again with a 13-1 mark in the conference. During their final year of Atlantic 10 Conference play in 2012-13, Cardoza guided the nation’s sec-ond-youngest team (six freshmen). After spending 14 years as assistant coach at the University of Connecticut under Hall of Fame coach Geno Au-riemma, a tenure in which she helped the Huskies to five National Champion-ships, few doubted that Cardoza had what it takes to build a successful pro-gram. The Owls finished in the Top 3 in the Atlantic 10 for three consecutive seasons. In Cardoza’s first season she coached the squad to an upset over No. 13 Xavier, making her the first coach in TU women’s basketball history to upset a ranked team during her rookie season. Cardoza was instrumental in All-Conference selection LaKeisha Ead-dy’s transition to point guard in 2008-09, nearly helping the upperclassman set a new single season record for as-sists. Cardoza also retained then-fresh-man recruit Kristen McCarthy, who was named to the A-10 First Team in 2010, as well as taking home the title of Big 5 Player of the Year. Cardoza’s best recruit had to sit out a year after transferring from Division I Wright State in 2009, but Shey Peddy then became one of the top players in

the history of the program. Peddy took home both the Atlantic 10 Player of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year awards in 2012, and was named the Big 5 Player of the Year for a second straight time. Peddy was a two-time At-lantic 10 First Team selection and made her mark on the all-time career record lists despite playing only two years with the Owls. Peddy became Cardoza’s first WNBA draft pick (as a head coach) when she was taken 23rd overall in the 2012 WNBA Draft by the Chicago Sky. Arriving at Connecticut at the start of the 1994-95 season, Cardoza helped guide the Huskies to an unprecedented 465-41 record, seven Final Four appear-ances and six No. 1 National Rankings in the final Associated Press poll. Cardoza was a part of four undefeated regular seasons, including two unbeaten na-tional championship teams in 1994-95 and 2001-02. The Huskies also won a NCAA record 70 consecutive games from 2001 to 2003. In Big East play, the team won 12 regular-season titles and 12 conference tournament champion-ships. Cardoza worked primarily with the guards at UConn, producing numerous All-America and All-BIG EAST perform-ers, including WNBA stars Sue Bird, Re-nee Montgomery, and Diana Taurasi. A 1991 University of Virginia gradu-ate with a degree in anthropology, Car-doza starred for the Cavaliers, leading the team to four consecutive NCAA Na-tional Tournament appearances. As a senior, she led Virginia in scoring (15.5 ppg), and tied Dawn Staley for the re-bounding lead (6.1 rpg) while earning the following honors: Kodak Honorable Mention All-America; Kodak First Team All-District III; First Team All-Atlantic Coast Conference; NCAA Final Four All-Tournament Team, and NCAA Re-gional All-Tournament Team. She was also a First Team All-ACC pick in 1988-89. Cardoza played in 121 games for UVa and graduated ranked third on the career steals list (375), fifth on the school’s career blocked shots list (110), eighth in points (1,622) and 10th in re-bounds (667). In 2002, Cardoza was named to the ACC 50th Anniversary Women’s Bas-ketball Team along with seven other former Cavaliers including Staley. Cardoza played professional bas-ketball in Segovia, Spain, before taking the job at Connecticut.

Way Veney is in her ninth season on North Broad Street and her second as as the team’s associate head coach. She works primarily with the guards and also serves as Temple’s recruiting coordinator. Temple’s 2015-16 season marked the second-straight 20-win campaign, as Veney helped the Owls to an overall mark of 23-12. In the tough American Athletic Conference, Temple finished third, com-piling an impressive 13-5 record, the best finish for the team in American history. During the regular season, Temple made waves with a six-game win streak, includ-ing a thrilling 68-66 win over #20 USF. The culmination of the 2015-16 season again saw the Owls earn a post-season bid. The team advanced to the quarterfi-nals of the 2016 WNIT, before a narrow 77-76 loss at Michigan. Individually, Veney’s guards again shined, as sophomore Alliya Butts earned the program’s first American Athletic Conference first team nod, while also being named a first-team All-Big five selection. Veney was instrumental in the suc-cess of the 2014-15 squad that earned the first postseason final four spot in program history. The Owls advanced to the WNIT Semifinals, relying heavily on its guards. Rookie guard, Alliya Butts flourished un-der Veney, being named Big 5 Freshman of the Year, while also earning spots on the American All-Conference team, the American All-Rookie team, and the All-Big 5 team. Junior combo guard Erica Covile also received All-Big 5 and All-American Athletic Conference honors, while senior guard Tyonna Williams earned the Ameri-can Sportsmanship Award, as well as one of six spots on the All-WNIT team.

After Veney’s arrival, the Owls earned three consecutive NCAA Tournament berths, advancing to the Second Round in both 2010 and 2011, and took a top spot in the 2012 Women’s National Invitation Tournament (WNIT), advancing to the third round. The guards Veney has coached have been hugely successful. She was instru-mental in the development of Butts, a mul-tiple award winner in her rookie season, as well as unanimous American All-Fresh-man and second-team honoree Feyonda Fitzgerald. Veney also guided All-Atlan-tic 10 selections LaKeisha Eaddy, Kristen McCarthy, Shey Peddy, and Qwedia Wal-lace. McCarthy and Peddy earned a total of three Big 5 Player of the Year honors over three seasons, with Peddy taking the award in both 2011 and 2012. Peddy be-came only the second player in Atlantic 10 history to earn both Player of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year honors in 2012. As recruiting coordinator, Veney helped sign transfer Peddy as well as for-ward Natasha Thames and center Victoria Macaulay. Veney spent two years as an assistant at Providence College prior to joining the Temple staff. She instructed the guards and was responsible for the defense. She also was in charge of all recruiting. Prior to her arrival at Providence, Veney spent three seasons (2002-05) at the College of William & Mary. She was responsible for recruiting as well as tutor-ing the Tribe guards. In addition, Veney assisted with scouting, practice planning, and day-to-day operations of the women’s basketball program.

Veney began her coaching career at American University during the 2000-01 season, the school’s final year in the Co-lonial Athletic Association. Veney is a 2000 graduate of East Carolina University, where she earned a bachelor’s degree in communications. She was a two-year starter for the Pirates at the guard position and earned Sec-ond-Team All-CAA honors in each of her two seasons. She also was among the league leaders in scoring, assists, and steals. Veney earned CAA All-Tournament team honors in 2000 after leading the Pirates to the championship game of the CAA Tournament. Veney began her collegiate playing career at the College of Charleston, where she led the Cougars in scoring during her sophomore campaign. Upon completion of her college ca-reer, Veney participated in profession-al tryout camps for the WNBA’s Detroit Shock (2000) and the Los Angeles Sparks (2001). A native of Hampton, Va., Veney is a 1995 graduate of Hampton High School. As a point guard for the Crabbers, Veney was named to the National High School All-America squad. She also earned First-Team All-State, All-District, and All-Region honors.
