OWLS IN THE NEST
Over the weekend, Christiana Greene powered Temple's offense across two matches, totaling 26 kills over seven sets while hitting .254. She tallied 13 kills in both contests and added nine digs, three blocks, and 29 total points. As a team, the Owls recorded 15 solo blocks and currently rank third in the conference in that category.
Freshman defensive specialist Maddie Metcalf anchored the back row with 17 digs, including a team-high 15 against Florida Atlantic, while maintaining a perfect 1.000 reception percentage and adding three service aces. Temple continues to lead the conference in total digs and digs per set, ranking ninth and 19th nationally, respectively.
