Women’s Basketball Scores 95 In Win At La Salle

The Flyers Are 9-0 In Atlantic 10 Play

PHILADELPHIA – The University of Dayton women's basketball team defeated La Salle University Sunday 95-66 to move to 9-0 in Atlantic 10 play.

COACH'S COMMENTS
"Great overall team win today," said head coach Shauna Green. "La Salle presents a difficult offensive scheme to guard as they spread you and shoot a lot of threes.

I'm proud of the toughness we have shown all week after having four games in eight days on the road."
