SCORING BREAKDOWN
Bottom First

Snyder and Davidson were able to score on a two-out, two-RBI single by sophomore Lisa Tassi to put Dayton in front, 3-0.

Junior Manda Cash was walked and replaced on the base by junior Jaclyn Kweder as Tassi stepped to the plate and collected two more RBI with a double. With two outs, Budicin's fourth hit of the day was a RBI-double that plated Tassi for the Flyers' final run of the game. Dayton claimed a 6-0 win over George Mason.
