Sydlik makes history in loss

Senior setter Sandra Sydlik reached 3,000 assists in her career Friday night in New Orleans, Louisiana as Temple lost to Tulane 3-1.

“You’d rather have that win than anything else,” Ganesharatnam said. “I didn’t congratulate her during the game or after the game.”

After dropping the first set 25-23, Temple (17-8, 8-5 American Athletic Conference) took a 22-17 lead against Tulane, eventually taking the second set 25-17. On the next play, Sandra Sydlik set the ball to sophomore middle blocker Janine Simmons who scored the kill.

On the play, the Munster, Germany native earned 3,000 career assists, a milestone in collegiate volleyball.
