ABOUT THE FLYERS
The team enters Friday's match with a 14-6 record and an undefeated 6-0 home record. The Flyers are coming off a split win-loss series against our previous opponent, the Saint Louis Billikens, making Dayton's A10 conference record 6-1. After traveling back to compete on their home court this weekend, the team hopes to continue their home-court advantage and keep their home win streak alive.
In Friday's win against the Billikens, fifth-year
Kaleigh Meritt and senior
Kamryn Hunt led the team with eleven kills each, and junior
Abigail Cresse led with nine total blocks. Saint Louis held the Flyers to a high standard each set, ultimately ending in the team's first regular-season Atlantic 10 loss since November 5, 2022, on Saturday.

The Revolutionaries travel to the Frericks Center this weekend with a 9-10 record and a 4-3 record in Atlantic 10 conference play. George Washington is led offensively by junior Cayla Cogan with a team record of 191 kills and junior Abby Markworth with a high of 628 assists.
While they have an impressive record, the Flyers have a 21-game win streak against George Washington. With that in mind, Dayton is aiming to defend its home court and build momentum heading into next week's conference play.
