As Alyssa Drachslin walked onto Temple’s bus to leave the Seton Hall Invitational Sept. 5, the Owls’ miscues during the event replayed through her head.
Temple committed 59 attack errors, 17 serve errors and 18 serve receive errors in the Owls’ 2–1 showing in the tournament.
“It was more of a mental loss, the team couldn’t get on the same page,” the senior libero said. “There is always something that is going to be inconsistent during the games, so we just have to work around it.”
In preparation for the Hilton Penn’s Landing Cherry and White Invitational this past weekend, coach Bakeer Ganesharatnam focused on defensive drills in the team’s practices to help cure the errors that cost the team at the Seton Hall Invitational.
