DAYTON, Ohio - After letting a late lead slip away in the first set, the University of Dayton volleyball team bounced back to defeat the Saint Louis Billikens, 3-1 (23-25, 25-16, 25-16, 25-16).

Rachel Krabacher, Yvonne Marten and Megan Campbell led the way for the Flyers, who improved to 10-5 overall and 3-0 in Atlantic 10 action.  It was UD’s sixth consecutive win this season, and 28th straight win against A-10 opponents.

Krabacher had 18 kills and 10 digs for her 11th double-double of the season.  Marten had 12 and 11 for her fourth double-double. Campbell finished the night with 10 kills, a career-high nine block assists and a hitting percentage of .375.

The Flyers earned the win at the net, with 14 blocks as a team compared to just five by Saint Louis.  In the last three sets, UD out-blocked SLU 12-2.  After hitting .342 in the two-point first set win, the Billikens were limited to a 0.560 hitting percentage in the final three sets.

The Dayton win knocked SLU from the unbeaten in conference play.  The visitors fell to 6-7 overall and 2-1 in the A-10.
