UD defeated Southern Illinois 30-20, 30-22, 30-27 in the first of four matches to be played today. Dayton senior Faye Barhorst had ten kills for UD, while sophomore Nicole Bateman added eight kills and 17 digs. IUPUI defeated Youngstown State in four games in Saturday's second match. Play will resume at 5:00 p.m. with YSU taking on Southern Illinois, followed by Dayton against IUPUI at 7:30 p.m. Both matches can be followed on-line at www.DaytonFlyers.com.
