The Owls recorded their ninth victory of the season on Friday in Annapolis, Maryland. Temple (9-7) defeated Navy, 5-2.
Strong singles performances were key for the Owls, who surrendered both doubles points to start the match. But coach Steve Mauro’s team responded by winning five of six singles matches.
Three of the Owls’ singles wins were decided in three sets, as well as a fourth that needed a tie break.
Sophomore Artem Kapshuk won in the first position 7-5, 5-7, 6-4. That was followed by a 6-2, 4-6, 7-6 (0) win by sophomore Florian Mayer in the second position and a 6-3, 3-6, 6-3 victory by junior Thomas Sevel in the third position.
