Three Points of Excellence
Dayton has hit at least one three-point shot in 465 consecutive games dating back to Jan. 2, 2001, the longest streak in the Atlantic 10 Conference and one of the top streaks in the nation.

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 3,208, Dayton ranks 33rd out of 349 DI programs.

You Look Familiar ...
Senior Jodie Cornelie-Sigmundova has seen action in 111 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 87-27 (.763) mark with Cornélie-Sigmundová on the roster. 

First Half Success = Second Half Victory
Dayton is 6-3 this season when leading at halftime. The Flyers are 2-6 when either trailing at the half or tied at halftime.

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. She has 1,194 career points, currently ranking 18th all-time. Unfortunately, Deane is currently sidelined due to injury.
