CHARLOTTE, N.C.- Temple's six game winning streak came to an end on Friday night, as the Owls dropped a hard fought 3-2 decision to A-10 newcomer Charlotte (8-10, 2-1). Temple, who falls to 10-8 overall and 3-1 in the A-10, was defeated 30-24 in game one, came back to win game two 30-24, fell 32-30 in game three, equalized in game four with a 30-27 result and finally fell 16-14 in game five.
Yue Liu and Maira Mogollon each tallied double doubles in Temple's first A-10 defeat. Liu had 15 kills and a season-high 20 digs, while Mogollon dished 51 assists and a season-high 10 digs. Zhen Jia Liu led Temple with 19 kills and Ying Sun Ling continued to be strong on the defensive end with a match-high 26 digs but it was not enough to overcome a Charlotte squad that saw five players tally double figures in at least one statistical category. Christina DeMarco earned a match-high six block assists.
Eden Ramos dished 68 assists and 15 digs for Charlotte, while Alma Arroyo had 29 kills. Lisa Newell contributed 24 kills and Carly Romberg had 20 digs. Abby Szlanfucht also earned a double-double with 13 kills and 21 digs.
