After a weekend of tennis in Tulsa, Oklahoma, the Owls came away 1-1, defeating Oral Roberts University 4-2 and dropping a match to Tulsa 5-2. The loss against Tulsa ended Temple’s four-match winning streak.
On Saturday, the Owls came out with a bit of a slow start, dropping all three doubles matches. The team rebounded and secured its first road victory of the season with four singles wins from sophomore Artem Kapshuk, junior Thomas Sevel and freshmen Francisco Bohorquez and Eric Biscoveanu.
“It was pretty windy,” coach Steve Mauro said. “Our practice on Friday in Tulsa was the first time we had played outside in any capacity all spring, and I think it took a little bit of time for the guys to adjust to that.
