Fordham took an initial lead 3-2, but Dayton quickly rallied and took control of the first set.  The Rams weren't going down without a fight thought and kept the game within a few points.  Flyers' head coach Kelly Sheffield was forced to call a time out at 11-10 in order to halt a Fordham rally.  The break worked as Dayton came out and stayed on top of the Rams for the rest of set one.  The Flyers pulled ahead 1-0 with a 25-19 first set.

Dayton carried its momentum over into set No. 2, taking a 7-3 lead with the help of the slide attack.  Fordham was forced to take a time out in order to slow down the Flyers' offense. The strategy did not work though as Shayne Brown then took over for Dayton and gave the hosts a 15-7 advantage.  Brown was 9-of-10 attacking at this point in the match.  The Flyers cruised past the Rams in set No. 2, taking a 2-0 lead with a score of 25-11.

With the 2-0 advantage and a rowdy crowd in their favor, the Flyers dominated the third set from start to finish.  The defense of Megan Campbell and the offense of Brown propelled Dayton to a 25-19 victory in the third and final set.

As a team, Dayton (14-4, 6-0 A-10) hit for an outstanding .411 average while holding Fordham to a .172 mark.  The Flyers also out-blocked the Rams 9-2 on the night.
