BIMINI, Bahamas - The University of Dayton women's basketball team is set to compete in the Junkanoo Jam this weekend in the Bahamas, starting with Georgia Tech Friday at 3 p.m.

ABOUT THE FLYERS
Dayton heads to the Bahamas for the holidays with a 2-2 record overall and amidst a five-game road stretch. The Flyers hold wins over Wisconsin and Princeton while suffering losses at home to Quinnipiac and No. 2 UConn.

Through three games, Dayton is out-scoring opponents in the second half and overtime while getting off to slower starts. The Flyers are scoring 67.5 points per game and giving up 70.2 to opposing teams. Head coach Shauna Green has Dayton shooting well from behind the arc with a 33.3% three-point percentage in 105 attempts already this season.

Dayton's offense is run by junior Jenna Burdette, who is recording 13.5 points and 3.8 assists per game, and sophomore Lauren Cannatelli, who is adding 12.0 points per game and has led the Flyers in scoring in three games so far this season.

SCOUTING GEORGIA TECH
Georgia Tech is 4-0 on the season with wins over Samford, Alabama State, at Kennesaw State, and in-state foe Georgia.

The Yellow Jackets are scoring 67.5 points per game while holding opponents to just 49.8 points, good enough for a +17.8 scoring margin. That partnered with a 43% field goal percentage and a +9.8 turnover margin has GT undefeated this season.
