The University of Dayton women's basketball team will continue its best season in program history with a WNIT First Round game at Bowling Green on Thursday night at 7 p.m. ET. The game between the Flyers and Falcons can be followed with Gametracker and FREE Live Audio at www.DaytonFlyers.com. Dayton enters the postseason with a 25-8 record following a trip to the Atlantic 10 Semifinals. UD's only other trip to the postseason as a Division I program came in 2000 when Dayton hosted Florida in a WNIT First Round matchup. The Flyers lost to the Gators, 97-93. UD is in the midst of its best season in modern history with a program record 25 victories. The Flyers were tied for fourth in the Atlantic 10 standings and advanced to the A-10 Semifinals for only the second time ever under the direction of 2007-2008 Atlantic 10 Coach of the Year Jim Jabir. UD earned its first ever votes in the AP Top 25 Poll this season and won 16 consecutive games at one point, which was the longest winning streak in school history. The Flyers are led by a group of seven seniors including A-10 Second Team selection Nikki Oakland. Oakland also earned A-10 All-Championship Team honors after becoming the 17th player in UD history to join the 1,000 Point Club during the Flyers' run to the A-10 Semifinals. She has tallied 10 double-doubles this season and leads the team with 13.8 ppg and 8.0 rpg. Bowling Green (25-9) is making its fourth consecutive postseason appearance and its first in the WNIT since 1998. BGSU advanced to the NCAA Sweet 16 last season, but are led by a group of young and talented players this season. Freshman Lauren Prochaska leads the Falcons in scoring with 14.6 ppg and rebounding at 5.9 per contest. Bowling Green does boast experience at the point as senior Kate Achter dishes out 6.9 apg to go along with 14.5 ppg. The winner of the Dayton/Bowing Green matchup on Thursday will advance to face Michigan State in East Lansing, MI on Saturday. The WNIT Second Round matchup hosted by the Spartans will begin at 2 p.m. ET. Fans can follow Dayton throughout the WNIT with Gametracker and FREE Live Audio from 1610 Information Radio at www.DaytonFlyers.com. |
