PHILADELPHIA -- The Temple volleyball team completed step one of its two-part goal this weekend, opening the series against Cincinnati with a victory on Friday afternoon. The Owls won the match 25-19, 25-18, 25-27, 25-21 at McGonigle Hall, to move to 9-5 overall, 3-4 in the AAC. Temple came into this weekend needing a pair of wins against the Bearcats (6-6, 4-3 AAC) to have a chance to earn the final conference tournament berth and will look to seal the spot tomorrow.
