Temple has received automatic qualification to the National Invitational Volleyball Championship, but the fields for the NIVC and NCAA tournament won’t be officially announced until Sunday night.
Temple beat the Bulls in four sets on Sunday at McGonigle Hall to move within one game of second-place Southern Methodist in the American Athletic Conference.
The Owls made just one of their last 10 field-goal attempts, but they held on to beat Clemson University, 67-60, on Sunday at TD Arena in Charleston, South Carolina.
Senior defenseman Ryan Dumbach scored three times, and senior forward and defenseman John Kumpf scored twice in Temple’s 8-3 win on Sunday in Northeast Philadelphia.
