Owls set to face A-10 foes Rhode Island and Fordham at home this weekend
PHILADELPHIA - Friday night is "80's Night" with the Temple volleyball team at McGonigle Hall, as the Owls play host to A-10 foe Rhode Island at 7:00 p.m. All fans are encouraged to get decked out in 80's clothes and prizes will be given out for the best-dressed. Temple is also inviting middle school teams and club teams for "Team Night" on Saturday night at 7:00 p.m. against Fordham.
Live stats for both matches will be available HERE.
The Owls hope to show their fans a good time and some great volleyball as they return home this weekend after a few weekends on the road. Temple started the Atlantic 10 season with losses at Xavier and defending conference champ Dayton, and is 4-11 so far this season.
Leading the way for the Owls are Collin Wallace and Gabriella Matautia with 3.29 kills/set and 3.09 kills/set, respectively, Tiffany Connatser with 9.62 assists/set and Chelsea Tupuola with 4.13 digs/set.
Rhode Island (8-6, 1-0) has won three straight matches and will play at home against Providence on Thursday before traveling to Philadelphia. Senior outside hitter Kayla Wilson leads Rhody with 3.70 kills/set, and freshman libero Katherine Kolodziej is the team leader in digs with 3.46 per set. Rhode Island head coach Bob Schneck is in his 31st season with the team.
There's a Temple connection in the Fordham coaching staff, as assistant coach Patricia Vernon is a 2010 graduate and three-time all-conference selection for the Owls. Head Coach Peter Volkert is in his eighth season with the Rams, who are 3-10 so far this season and will face both Seton Hall and La Salle before playing at Temple on Saturday.
The Owls are planning three other theme nights this season and will also be hosting a free clinic for girls 13 and under after their match on Sunday, Oct. 30. Other themes include "Dig Pink" night for breast cancer awareness on Oct. 21, "Rivalry Day" on Oct. 28 and "Cosby Sweater Night" on Nov. 11.
