Three Late Tallies Propel #UDWSOC to Crucial Victory

Flyers Improve to 7-2 in Atlantic 10 Play

DAYTON - The University of Dayton women's soccer team returned home Thursday to wrap up the home portion of the regular season, as they hosted the Fordham Rams at Baujan Field. After a scoreless first half, the Flyers used their decided possession advantage to grab the lead and secure the victory with two insurance goals. With Thursday night's win, the Flyers virtually guarantee that they will host an Atlantic 10 Quarterfinal Match next Sunday, Oct. 31.
 
KEY MOMENT
Diana Benigno opened the scoring for the Flyers in the 52nd minute, as she unleashed an abosulte rocket from about 22 yards out, and ripped the upper right corner of the net, beating Rams goalkeeper Maria O'Sullivan to put the Flyers on top 1-0. This would prove to be the match winner, but Dayton wouldn't stop there, as Alicia Donley netted her fifth of the season off of an Itala Gemelli cross in the 74th minute, and just one minute later Laney Huber got her fifth of the season off of a Madison Wilson corner kick to seal a 3-0 victory.
