DAYTON – The No. 19-ranked Dayton volleyball team looks to continue its 15-match win streak this weekend, traveling to Fairfax, Va. to take on George Mason on Saturday and Sunday, Nov. 2-4 at the Recreation Athletic Complex.

The Flyers and Patriots play at 1 p.m. on Saturday and will play again at 12 p.m. on Sunday. Both matches will be broadcast on ESPN+.
 
Rare Air
Redshirt senior Lexie Almodovar has put herself in rarified air in her final season as a Flyer.
 
The Noblesville, Ind. native became the all-time #UDVB kills leader, passing Dayton Hall of Famer and All-American Faye Barhorst (1,796; 2003-06) with her 18-kill performance at Fordham. She also became just the seventh Flyer in history to eclipse the 1,000 mark in both kills and digs.
 
Almodovar is also sixth in the NCAA in kills for an active player (1,826), and is one of four active players with 1,800+ kills and 180+ service aces.
 
Another Weekly Winner
Senior setter Alyssa Miller was tabbed the Atlantic 10 Player of the Week on Monday after posting two assist/dig double-doubles and averaging 11.83 assists/set.
 
The Overland Park, Kan. native had 30 assists and 14 digs on Friday night against the Rams, then had 38 assists and a career-best 21 digs on Saturday.
 
The Flyers have now won six weekly honors from the Atlantic 10 this season, as junior Liana Sarkissian won her first career Player of the Week honor on Sept. 16, and redshirt senior Lexie Almodovar added her first POW of the season a week later on Sept. 23. Brooke Smith won the honor on Oct. 8, and Almodovar notched her second of the season on Oct. 21.
