The Owls now face the very real possibility of falling into the middle of the Atlantic 10 Conference pack when they head to George Washington (4-2 in A-10) to take on the Colonials Sunday.

Temple is 1-2 in their last three games, with losses against conference leading Dayton (6-0) and Duquesne (5-1) on Friday. The Owls are 4-2 in the conference, tied with Xavier, Fordham and George Washington.

A loss would knock them out of the Top 5.

Temple is coming of a straight set loss to Duquesne, where junior outside hitter Elyse Burkert led the team with 12 kills. The team struggled on night with the height of the Dukes’ blocks.

The Colonials have six players on their roster over six feet, which could pose yet another challenge for the Owls.

The match begins at 1 p.m.
