Owls sweep doubleheader to win third straight match

The Owls claimed two commanding victories, defeating the University of Delaware 5-0 in the morning and Rider University 7-0 in their afternoon match on Wednesday at the Student Pavilion.

Temple has now won three straight matches and six of its last seven.

“These matches were great preparation for the conference tournament,” coach Steve Mauro said. “The guys had to double up and play two singles and two doubles matches in one day, and they all really look like they’re playing sharp tennis at the right time.”

The Owls (16-9, 1-3 American Athletic Conference) claimed the doubles point against Delaware after winning the first and third flight matchups 6-3.
