The Owls will play four games in three days, starting with Wagner College and Siena University Friday.

Freshman forward Jayson Marbach and junior forward Joe Pikso head into the weekend as the leading scorers for Temple with nine points each. Marbach will look to continue his performance from last weekend, in which he racked up six points in games against Montclair State and Penn State Universities.

Wagner will come in having faced Georgetown Univerisity just hours prior at 10:30 p.m. last night. Siena will figure to pose a challenge for Temple despite their 0-2-1 record.

Temple is 4-1 and will look to build on their record this weekend.

Temple will face Wagner at 12:45 p.m. and Siena at 9 p.m. Friday, respectively.
