The Owls sit just percentage points behind second place George Washington (25-18, 12-4) and enter the weekend tied for third place with Fordham (30-18, 13-5). Saint Joseph's (31-7-1, 14-4), which also faces Fordham and GW?this weekend, sits in first place.
Prior to Sunday's doubleheader, Temple will honor four members of the class of 2013 with Senior Day festivities. Kayla Cook, Daniele Raneri, Ali Robinson and Gina Sciarrone will all be playing their final games at Temple Softball Stadium.
