LAST TIME OUT
The Cherry and White knocked off Princeton in McGonigle Hall on Wednesday night, 25-23, 25-23, 14-25, 22-25,15-10, improving their over record to 7-2. In the match, graduate transfer Avery Luoma earned her second-career Owls' double-double and ninth overall. On the night, Luoma tied for a team-high and season-high 15 kills and added 14 digs. Fellow grad transfer Olivia Vance had a breakout game, coming up with a season-high 11 kills. Leading Temple hitter, Taylor Davenport had another strong outing as she had 15 kills, marking the eighth time in nine matches to reach double-digit kills.
FLIGHT TD 14
Going into this weekend, Davenport senior is ranked second in the AAC and 14th in the NCAA with 4.48 kills per set. Also, the TU standout is currently second in the conference with 5.19 points per set and 15th in the nation.

Going into this weekend's set of matches Davenport is currently at 842 kills for her career. Fellow Owl, Olivia Vance is at 802 career kills between her four seasons with Toledo and her first year with Temple.
