Dayton tied the record with 15 vs. Wright State on Nov. 28, 2012.

We've Got an Audience
With a crowd of 10,159 at UD Arena for Dayton's season opener against Yale on Nov. 13, the Flyers currently boast the seventh-most attended game this season. The record crowd was due to the overwhelming success of UD's annual School Day game, a chance for local school-aged children to take a field trip with the Flyers. With a home attendance average of 3,307, Dayton ranks 33rd out of 349 DI programs.

You Look Familiar ...
Senior Jodie Cornelie-Sigmundova has seen action in 110 career games as a Flyer - missing only three games her first season on the squad. Since she joined the team prior to the 2012-13 season, the Flyers have an 87-26 (.770) mark with Cornélie-Sigmundová on the roster.

20/20 Vision
Dayton reached the 20-wins mark for the eighth-consecutive season with its 59-45 win at Fordham on Feb. 18, 2015. This was the 15th time in the program's 47 seasons that Dayton has reached the 20-win plateau.

1,000 and Counting
With her first made basket in the 2015 Atlantic 10 Championship final, senior Amber Deane became the 23rd member of Dayton's 1,000-point club as only the 10th Flyer to reach that milestone in her third season.

Atlantic 10 Format

Each team will play a 16-game conference slate this season, including three home-and-away series. Dayton will play two games against Duquesne, George Washington and Saint Louis and one against the remaining field during league action. The conference most recently welcomed Davidson.

Atlantic 10 Preseason Poll
Dayton was picked to finish second in the Atlantic 10 for 2015-16 in voting among league head coaches with two first-place votes and 177 total points. All three of the Flyers' seniors were named to Preseason All-Conference Teams led by Amber Deane who earned mention on the First Team. Kelley Austria was named to the Preseason Second Team while Jodie Cornelie-Sigmundova was named to the Third Team. Both Austria and Cornélie-Sigmundová were also voted onto the All-Defensive Team.

Welcome to the Team
Dayton signed three to National Letters of Intent during the recent early signing period: Jenna Giacone (Delmar N.Y./Bethlehem Central), Jayla Scaife (Muncie, Ind./Muncie Central) and Jordan Wilmoth (Chestnut Ridge, N.Y./Immaculate Heart Academy). The trio will be joining the team in the fall of 2016.

Also Eligible Next Season
The Flyers had two student-athletes transfer in at the beginning of this academic year. Due to NCAA transfer rules, sophomore Alex Harris and junior Madeline Blais are required to spend one season in residence before competing with the team. Harris, a 6-3 forward is originally from Lorain, Ohio, and comes to UD from Penn State while Exeter, New Hampshire, native Blais transferred in from Marist.

Graduation Success Rate
As announced by the NCAA on Nov. 4, Dayton's overall Graduation Success Rate (GSR) of 95 ties UD for the 25th-highest rating in the nation. This year's score of 95 is tied with last year's score for the department's second-highest rate since the inception of the GSR reporting system in 2005.  Over the 11 years the GSR has been compiled, the Flyers have never rated below a 94 and have ranked 27th or better nationally
