DAYTON, Ohio - The University of Dayton Flyers led by the duo of Nicole Bateman and Lindsay Fletemier downed a team of former Flyers 3-0 (25-21, 25-23, 25-20) in their final exhibition match of the year in front of 200 of the Flyer Faithful at Frericks Center on Saturday.

Fletemier led the way for this year's squad with 10 total kills on 13 attempts for a team high .692 hitting percentage. Bateman complemented Fletemier's efforts with 11 kills on 28 attempts from the floor.

In addition to Fletemier's kills she also tallied three block assists. Sophomore Becky Novacek tallied a pair of solo blocks in the Flyer effort while adding a block assist in the match.

The Flyers were tested by an alumnae squad that was made up of three winners of the Atlantic 10 Player of the Year award, 2003 recipient Erin Treadway, 2004 honoree Christy Utnage as well as the 2005 and 2006 recipient Faye Barhorst. Jamie Lee-Richards a two-time honoree for A-10 First Team All-Conference, Carrie (Snider) Dearth the UD record holder for digs in a single-season and Adrienne Green the record holder for digs in a career were also among the present alumnae. Three-time A-10 Championship winner Margo Moeller and Assistant Athletics Director / Senior Woman Administrator Megan Pease capped off a tough alumnae squad.

Saturday's match served as a final tune-up for UD before they face UNLV at the ASU Sheraton Classic on Friday, Aug. 29 in Tempe, Ariz. The Flyers will look to pick up where they left off after last season's campaign to the second round of the NCAA Tournament.
