DAYTON - The University of Dayton women's basketball team heads east to take on the No. 9/10 Maryland Terrapins Sunday at 2 p.m. ET at the Xfinity Center.

SCOUTING THE FLYERS
Dayton enters the contest with a 1-0 record overall after defeating Colgate in the season opener Friday. The Flyers are coming off a 23-7 season last year in which they won their third A-10 title in the past two seasons and an 11th straight postseason berth.

Head coach Shauna Green is the reigning A-10 Coach of the Year and enters her third season at the helm of the Flyers. With a 46-17 record at Dayton and three conference titles, expectations are high for the program, but Coach Green has multiple new faces on this year's roster. Six new players join or are now eligible after sitting out due to transfer rules: redshirt-sophomore Araion Bradshaw (South Carolina), Shakeela Fowler (injury), Julia Chandler (Syracuse), as well as freshmen Kyla Whitehead, Amari Davidson, and Ella Skeens.

As a team, the Flyers are scoring 67.0 points per game and holding opponents to 58.0 each outing. Dayton shoots 40.3 percent from the floor, 10.5 percent from three-point range, and 71.4 percent from the free throw line.

Redshirt junior Julia Chandler leads the way with 17.0 points and 8.0 rebounds per game. Senior Lauren Cannatelli is contributing 13.0 points and 8.0 rebounds each contest as well.

SCOUTING MARYLAND
Maryland hosts the Flyers with a 1-0 record on the season after crushing Coppin State in its season opener. The Terps are ranked ninth and 10th in the respective poles and coming off a 26-8 season last year where they advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament.

Head coach Brenda Frese is in her 17th season at Maryland and boasts a .783 winning percentage and 430 victories in charge of the Terps.

Maryland is averaging 93.0 points per game and giving up just 36.0 to opponents. The Terps shoot 38.6 percent from the floor, 28.6 percent behind the arc, and 70.8 percent from the charity stripe. They also benefit from a +32.0 rebounding margin and +12.0 turnover margin.

Leading UM is Taylor Mikesell with 18.0 points and 4.0 assists per game while Shakira Austin is adding 12.0 points and 21.0 rebounds per game. Stephanie Jones is also a duel threat with 17.0 points and 12.0 rebounds each outing.

LAST TIME OUT
Dayton picked up a 67-58 win at home in the season opener over Colgate Friday for School Day. The Flyers surged in the fourth quarter and earned the victory with three players scoring in double figures. Redshirt junior Julia Chandler led the way with 17 points and eight rebounds.

Maryland powered its way to a 93-36 victory over Coppin State in the Terps' season opener, holding CSU to just seven points in the second quarter and four points in the fourth quarter. Taylor Mikesell led Maryland with 18 points while Stephanie Jones chipped in 17 points and 12 rebounds.

THE SERIES
Dayton and Maryland have played twice previously with both teams picking up a win, but have not played since 2001 when the Flyers defeated the No. 25 ranked Terps, 56-53 at home.
