DAYTON, Ohio - - The University of Dayton volleyball team swept the visiting Wright State Raiders, 3-0 (25-17, 25-12, 25-16), in finalé of the 2013 Flyer Classic at UD's Frericks Center. Senior Megan Campbell led the Flyers with a match-high 10 kills while sophomore Jenna Jendryk set a match-high 30 assists. Both earned all-tournament team honors for their play over the weekend.

With the win, Dayton pulls even for the season at 6-6 while Wright State falls to 5-11 overall.

Also for the Flyers, senior Shayne Brown and sophomore Alaina Turner each tallied eight kills while sophomore Janna Krafka passed 12 digs in the contest. Campbell posted another great hitting percentage, committing only one error in 19 attempts, to hit for a .474 clip.

The Raiders opened the match with a 5-3 lead but the Flyers quickly adjusted, tying things up at five-all and again at six apiece. Back-to-back kills from Turner kick-started at 7-1 run to give UD the 13-7 lead, forcing WSU to call for timeout. A kill from Ellen Senf cut the Flyer lead to three, 14-11, but the Raiders would get no closer in the first frame. Dayton claimed the 25-17 first-set win to go up 1-0 on Wright State.

The Flyers scored the first three points of the second set on their way to an 8-3 lead. Two Raider attack errors and a Campbell service ace stretched UD's lead to eight, 12-4, and the Flyers held the 10-point advantage at 18-8 after consecutive UD assisted blocks. A late 5-0 run by Dayton gave the Flyers their largest lead of the set, 23-9, and UD held on for the 25-12 second set win.

Out of intermission, Dayton jumped out on Wright State 8-1 in the third set. The Raiders cut the advantage to four, the last at 17-13 following a kill from Heidi Splinter. UD closed out the frame with a 5-1 run and earned the 25-16 win in the third set to take the match, 3-0.

Wright State was led by Senf and Splinter with seven kills apiece while Miranda Puthoff tallied nine digs on the afternoon.

The Flyers will open Atlantic 10 Conference play next weekend, welcoming Virginia Commonwealth Friday evening to Frericks Center. First serve between the Flyers and the Rams is set for 7 p.m. and admission is free.
