🔼 Owl See Ya Next Time. Florida Atlantic volleyball battled but fell in three sets, 3-0 (25-27, 21-25, 18-25), against the Temple Owls in their first AAC road match on Sunday.

Katelynn Robine and Romina Cornelio led the Owls in the match, recording 14 and 11 kills, respectively. In addition to leading the team in kills, Robine also posted a team-best .321 hitting percentage.

The Owls’ weekend certainly wasn’t a total loss, however. Read about their victory over Memphis on Friday below. 👇🏼

🔼 We Sweep, They Weep. The Florida Atlantic Owls picked up their second conference sweep of the season on Friday, earning a straight-set victory, 3-0 (25-20, 25-15, 25-18), over the Memphis Tigers at Eleanor R. Baldwin Arena.
 
The Owls improve to 10-5 overall and 2-1 in AAC play, while Memphis drops to 7-8 on the season and 1-2 in league play.

🔼 Swimming Laps Around the Competition. The Florida Atlantic men's and women's swimming and diving teams finished the TYR Fall Classic with strong performances on Saturday afternoon. The men's and women's teams finished second in the final standings.
 
The Owl men had seven top-three finishes on the afternoon, including two victories, ending the meet with a final score of 533 points.
 
On the women's side, the Owls finished with 497 points, five top-three finishes, and two event winners.

🔼 So Over Hurricanes. Florida Atlantic's women's soccer team fell to the Hurricanes by a 1-0 score in a non-conference Sunday matchup after playing on a wet field after an all-day rain in Miami.

The Owls return home to face Rice in Paradise for the first time since moving to the American Athletic Conference on Thursday, Oct. 10. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET.

🔼 Hey, Hey, Rain Delay. The Island at West Bay Collegiate Invitational, scheduled to begin Sunday in Estero, Fla., was canceled due to heavy rain Sunday that is expected to continue into Monday. Florida Atlantic men's golf will return next Sunday and Monday at the Quail Valley Collegiate in Vero Beach, Fla.
