Not only was Temple anxious to test itself one final time Tuesday before district play gets started later this week, but it was eager to do so in front of a home crowd for the first time.

Killeen Ellison did its best to spoil the Tem-Cats’ welcoming party, however.

Ja’lya Swiney knocked down a match-high 12 kills and Bryanna Bowman dished out 15 assists as the Lady Eagles pulled away late in the opening set, led most of the way through the middle frame and used a 7-1 spurt near the end of the final session to pull out a 25-23, 25-21, 25-23 sweep of Temple at Wildcat Gym.
