Temple claimed the doubles point against Drexel with wins at No. 2 and No. 3, as Martim Marujo/Aayush Bhat and Erden Er/Alberto Blumenschein posted 6-3 and 6-2 victories, respectively.
The seniors continued to shine in singles. Marujo anchored the top singles spot with a gritty three-set win over Matteus Froberg Dahlin, 7-6(3), 4-6, 6-4, showing poise in pressure moments to seal the point.
Senior Dante Russo delivered a clean and efficient performance at No. 3 singles, cruising past Cole Thurgur 6-1, 6-3 to extend Temple's lead and keep momentum on Temple's side.
