After a two-game stretch on Friday that ended shortly before 1 a.m. Saturday, the Owls left the Cabin John arena last night with a split as part of the Atlantic Collegiate Hockey Association Division II showcase.

A 12:45 p.m. matchup with Wagner College turned into an 8-5 shootout that saw senior forward Sean Nealis net his first two goals of the year in the Temple win.

Freshman forwards Greg Malinowski and Jayson Marbach added goals. Junior forward Joe Pisko, Sophomore defenseman Chris Carnivale, and senior defenseman Andrew Trainor also had tallies for the Owls.

Freshman goalie Jon Plester got the start in his Temple debut in a game in which many of Temple’s younger players got the opportunity to play.

The Owls then faced off with Siena at a late 10:30 start time and fell 4-1.

Marbach scored the only goal for Temple in a game where Siena maintained control throughout.

The Owls will take on Marist College today for their third ACHA showcase contest. Sophomore goalie Eric Semborski will start.

Game time is set for 3 p.m.
