Sophomore guard Kiki Lund tallied a career-high 20 points on 6-for-6 shooting from three-point range as Dayton beat Loyola-Chicago 80-57 in its last game on Nov. 22 at the Joseph J. Gentile Center.

UD improved to 2-1 overall on the year after hitting on 31-of-63 (49.2 percent) shots from the field including 8-of-13 from three-point range.

Lund, a 5-11 sophomore guard fron Aarhus, Denmark, made 7-of-11 shots overall on the night while also dishing out four assists in 28 minutes of action. She also matched the school record for most three-point field goals made without a miss (6-for-6), which was originally set by Victoria Jones on Nov. 25, 2000.

"I was very proud of the way we executed on both ends of the court tonight," UD Head Coach Jim Jabir said. "When we execute, run hard and play fast, we will get open looks for players like Kiki and she stepped up tonight in a big way."

Dayton returns 11 letterwinners and four starters from a team that finished 12-16 last season. In addition to making a nine-win improvement over the previous season, the Flyers had the fourth best turnaround of any team in the nation in 2004-05.

Dayton was also 6-10 in Atlantic 10 play, which was the fifth best conference record in the A-10 and was good for fourth in the A-10 West Division. This year, the Flyers was picked seventh in A-10 Preseason Poll.

UD's 40.2 rebounds per game led the Atlantic 10 Conference last year, paced by Cara Wright's 8.6 rebounds per game, which was third in the A-10. The Flyers out-rebounded 12 of their first 18 opponents last year, by an average of 5.3 per game.
