DAYTON - The University of Dayton women's basketball team continues the three-game home stand by hosting St. Bonaventure University Wednesday, Jan. 28 at 7 p.m. at UD Arena. 

SCOUTING THE FLYERS 
Dayton is looking to find some consistency, sitting at 10-10 on the year and 3-6 in Atlantic 10 play. The Flyers are 5-4 at home and coming off a tough loss to Rhode Island at home this past weekend. 

Head coach Tamika Williams-Jeter is in her fourth season in charge of her hometown Flyers, coming over after a year at Wittenberg. She has assistant coaching stops at Kansas, Kentucky, Penn State, and Ohio State. 

The Flyers are averaging 65.9 points per game while giving up 67.5 points to opponents. Dayton is shooting 43.1 percent overall, 30.0 percent from three point range, and 66.1 percent from the free throw line. UD benefits from a +4.7 rebounding margin. 

Leading the way for the Flyers is senior Nayo Lear with 15.4 points per game and 15 double-digit scoring games in 19 appearances. Grad student Nicole Stephens is chipping in 9.5 points and 3.6 assists per game while junior Fatima Ibrahim is adding 7.7 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 43 blocks. 

SCOUTING THE OPPONENT
ST. BONAVENTURE
St. Bonaventure is also looking to right the ship amidst a three-game losing skid. The Bonnies are 12-9 on the year and 3-6 in A-10 games while going 5-5 away from home this season. 

Head coach Jim Crowley has been around SBU since 1996 and has National Coach of the Year (2012) and A-10 Coach of the Year (2009, 2012, 2014) honors. 

As a team, the Bonnies are averaging 62.7 points each outing and holding opposing teams to 60.3 points per game. St. Bonaventure is shooting 42.4 percent from the field, 29.1 percent from behind the arc, and 69.4 percent from the charity stripe. 

The Bonnies boast a talented squad led by the duo of Laycee Drake with 14.8 points and 6.0 rebounds per game and Aaliyah Parker with 12.4 points and 5.9 boards each outing. Mackenzie Pettinelli and Gabby Robinson have both started all 21 games for SBU as well. 

LAST TIME OUT
Dayton hosted A-10 leaders Rhode Island Sunday and battled to a closer finish than the score dictated in a 79-66 loss. The Flyers outshot the Rams, but sent them to the free throw line 15 more times. 

St. Bonaventure also suffered a home loss last outing, falling to La Salle 83-74. The Bonnies started slow, but fell short despite a 27-11 fourth quarter advantage. 

SERIES HISTORY
Dayton and St. Bonaventure are meeting for the 36th time in program history with the Flyers holding a 24-11 series advantage. UD has won three in a row, including last year's contest 67-57 in Olean on March 1.
