DAYTON, Ohio - The University of Dayton volleyball team posted its third-straight sweep with its 3-0 (25-13, 25-16, 25-18) win over George Mason Friday night at Frericks Center. Sophomores Jill Loiars and Alaina Turner led the Flyers with 12 kills apiece.

With the win, Dayton improves to 13-12 on the season and 7-6 in Atlantic 10 play while George Mason falls to 7-20 overall and 3-10 in league action.

Also for the Flyers, senior Megan Campbell tallied nine kills while hitting .571 for the match and recorded a match-high five blocks. Freshman Aubreigh Applegate was one dig off her career-best with a team-high 11 and sophomore Janna Krafka got under 10 digs for UD. Sophomore Jenna Jendryk set a match-high 37 assists for the Flyers.

Jendryk's kill in the early going of the first set gave Dayton a quick 3-1 lead over Mason but the Patriots tied it up at three-all. Four ties later, GM held the brief lead at 8-7 before committing an attack error to give UD sideout. A strong swing from Campbell followed by a Turner service ace set the score at 12-9 in favor of the Flyers and the Patriots called for timeout.

The lead would bloom to eight, 20-12, after a 4-0 Flyer run was capped with a service ace from Jendryk. Mason used their second timeout of the frame to regroup and out of the break Jendryk tallied another ace and Brown's killed gave UD a 10-point advantage, 22-12. A Patriot attack error set up set-point and senior Allyson Morey's service ace claimed the frame for the Flyers at 25-13.

Dayton went up 5-1 on George Mason to open the second set, forcing the Patriots to call for timeout. A Flyer service error at 7-3 gave GM the serve back and the Patriots followed with a service ace to cut the lead to three, 7-4. Back-to-back Dayton kills set the score at 9-4 and the lead was 14-7 after a 4-0 Flyer run.

George Mason cut the Dayton lead to five, 15-10, after benefiting from a Flyer attack error but that would be as close as they would get the rest of the way. UD led by eight at set point, 24-16, and was able to take the second game on a kill from Brown to go up two sets to none.

Despite falling behind 2-1 in the third set to the Patriots, the Flyers rallied with an 8-2 run to break open a 9-4 advantage over Mason. GM cut the UD lead to two, 11-9, on a kill from Laura Spencer but Dayton answered with three straight points capped by a double block from Turner and Campbell. The score was 17-10 in favor of Dayton when Mason called for timeout.

Another 3-0 spurt from the Flyers pushed the UD lead to eight, 20-12, and Mason would get no closer than six the rest of the way. Match-point was earned at 24-16 on a kill from Turner but the Patriots were able to save it twice trying to stay alive in the contest. Turner's kill gave UD the third-set win at 25-18 and the match, 3-0.

The Patriots were led by Morghan Martin with five kills and Bernetta Moore with a match-high 13 digs.

The Flyers close out the Atlantic 10 regular season Sunday afternoon against George Washington. First serve is set for 2 p.m. at Frericks Center and admission is free. Prior to the match, three senior team members will be recognized for Senior Day.
