DAYTON - The University of Dayton women's basketball team heads back out on the road to take on Saint Louis University Friday, Jan. 12 at 8 p.m. ET in Atlantic 10 action.

SCOUTING THE FLYERS
Dayton travels to Missouri with a 7-8 record on the year and 1-3 A-10 mark. The Flyers are coming off a big win over Loyola Chicago Saturday and will look to earn their second road win of the season, sitting at 1-5 away from home.

Leading the way for the Flyers is junior Ivy Wolf with 12.1 points and 3.3 assists per game while redshirt senior Destiny Bohanon is adding 11.0 points per game. Junior Arianna Smith is a double-double machine with seven on the year, and averaging 9.9 points and 11.4 rebounds each outing.

SCOUTING SAINT LOUIS
Saint Louis is the reigning A-10 Tournament Champion, but has gotten off to a slow start against a challenging schedule with a 6-11 record on the year. The Billikens are 4-4 at home and 1-4 in the last five outings.

Head coach Rebecca Tillett is in her second season at Saint Louis after a four-year stint at Longwood University.

As a team, SLU is scoring 72.8 points each contest and allowing 75.4 points to opposing squads. The Billikens are shooting 42.4 percent from the floor, 31.8 percent from behind the arc, and 76.0 percent from the charity stripe. SLU benefits from a +2.5 rebounding margin, but is committing more turnovers.

The Billikens are led by A-10 Preseason All-Conference performer Kyla McMakin with 16.7 points per game while Peyton Kennedy is contributing 13.9 points and 4.9 rebounds per game and Brooklyn Gray is adding 11.6 points per game.

SERIES HISTORY
This will be the 50th meeting between the Flyers and Billikens with Dayton holding a 36-13 series advantage. SLU has won the last two match-ups including both contests last season.
