DAYTON - The University of Dayton women's basketball team heads back out on the road to take on a talented Quinnipiac squad on Tuesday, Nov. 28 at 7 p.m. in Hamden, Conn.

SCOUTING THE FLYERS
The Flyers enter the contest with a 5-1 record overall with the lone loss coming in their only true road game of the season at Toledo last Wednesday.

Head coach Shauna Green is in her second season at the helm of the Flyers after going 22-10 in her first campaign last year. The WBCA National Rookie Coach of the Year returns an experienced squad with three seniors, six juniors, and three starters.

As a team, Dayton is averaging 70.5 points per game and holding opponents to just 56.7 points,  which ranks second in the Atlantic 10. The Flyers are ninth in the country in rebounds per game with 49.0 each contest, good enough for a +14.7 margin. UD is shooting for 40.2 percent from the floor, 29.1 percent from three, and 71.7 percent from the free throw line.

The Flyers are led by senior Jenna Burdette, who is scoring 14.6 points per game and shooting 46.3 percent from the field. Fellow senior JaVonna Layfield is 11th in the country and second in the A-10 in rebounds with 68 on the season to go with 11.3 points per game. Sophomore Jayla Scaife is chipping in 13.0 points each contest as well.

SCOUTING QUINNIPIAC BOBCATS
Quinnipiac welcomes Dayton after posting a 1-3 record to start the season, but the Bobcats have faced a gauntlet of a schedule with losses at Iowa, to No. 16 Missouri, and No. 8 Ohio State. Head coach Tricia Fabbri is in her 23rd season at Quinnipiac and led the Bobcats to a 29-7 record and the NCAA Sweet 16 last season.

Overall, the Bobcats are being outscored 60.3 to 73.3 points per game and shooting 33.5 percent from the field, 28.3 percent behind the arc, and 70.0 percent from the charity stripe. Quinnipiac faces a -12.0 rebounding margin as well, which is Dayton's strength.

Leading the way is Jen Fay with 12.5 points and 7.3 rebounds per game. Paula Strautmane is dishing out 4.5 assists each contest while Aryn McClure is contributing 10.8 points per game.

LAST TIME OUT
Dayton powered its way to an 81-43 win over Arkansas-Pine Bluff Saturday to get back into the win column. The Flyers had four players in double figures scoring led by Layfield's 19 points.

Quinnpiac earned its first win of the season with a 60-49 win over Northern Colorado Wednesday. The Bobcats overcame a 19-5 first quarter deficit and scored 32 points in the paint to hand Northern Colorado its first loss of the season.

THE SERIES
The Flyers and the Bobcats have met two times previously with both teams winning one matchup. Dayton and Quinnipiac faced off last season at UD Arena with the Bobcats sneaking past the Flyers on the road, 63-60.

UP NEXT
The Flyers will return home to host Green Bay on Wednesday, Dec. 6 at 11 a.m. at UD Arena for the annual School Day game. The Phoenix lead the nation in scoring defense and were an NCAA team last season.
