Navy’s defense was challenged by Temple hitter’s Saturday afternoon.
As a team, Temple posted 41.2 hitting percentage and three of the Owls’ players had a kill percentage greater than 50 percent. Junior middle blocker Kristen Overton was successful on 75 percent of her attacks, while senior setter Sandra Sydlik and junior outside hitter Tyler Davis were successful on 60 and 55.6 percent of their attempts, respectively.
Overton converted all eight of her attacks in the last two sets..
“They didn’t put as many blockers on me so I was able to hit with more options,” Overton said.
