DAYTON, Ohio -  The University of Dayton volleyball team won its eighth straight match with a 3-0 (30-14, 30-17, 31-29) victory over Atlantic 10 foe La Salle at the Frericks Center on Friday.

With the win, its 13th in its last 14 matches overall, Dayton (19-6, 10-1 A-10) has setup a chance to move to within one win of the A-10 Regular Season Championship if it defeats Temple on Senior Day, Saturday at 4 p.m. The Flyers are also just one win shy of their fourth consecutive 20-win season.

La Salle fell to 8-21 overall and 1-9 in Atlantic 10 play.
