Tennis to take on Drexel in local matchup

The men’s tennis team faces off against Drexel on Friday at 12 p.m. at Legacy Tennis Center.

The Owls (2-2, 1-0 Atlantic 10 Conference) look to snap a two-match losing streak. The Dragons (3-1, 0-0 Colonial Athletic Association) are on a two-match win streak.

Part of the Owls’ struggles can be attributed to senior Kacper Rams’ shoulder injury. Coach Steve Mauro said that Rams is “day-to-day”. Rams has not missed any matches, but Temple needs it’s captain and best player to put in a strong performance.

Drexel is led by sophomore Badr Ouabdelmoumen (2-1 in singles) and junior Skyler Davis (2-2 in singles). Both players have played in the top singles flight, and they are 3-0 together in the top doubles flight this spring.
