The Owls posted a time of 5:39.7 over the 2,000 meter course to gain the victory. The Owls took control of the race from the beginning as they established a boat-length lead at the 1,500 meter mark and never looked back. Dowling claimed second place in a time of 5:43.1 and Marist was third in 5:53.3. "We don't take anything for granted," Temple head coach Gavin White said. "This is our home town. This is our house.
