The 59-72 loss to Temple didn’t stop senior Trajata Colbert from hitting two career highs with 25 points and 11 rebounds. This was also her fourth double-double of the season. Fellow senior Jane Asinde finished the night with 12 rebounds, six on both offense and defense. The Shocker women had their worst shooting percentage of the season at .278. Though they scored more points than Temple in the last quarter, WSU was not able to make a comeback.
