Women’s Basketball Falls in Dayton, 74-65

DAYTON, Ohio – The Saint Joseph's women's basketball team suffered defeat on the road on Wednesday evening, falling 74-65 to Dayton inside UD Arena.
 
Gabby Casey led the Hawks with a team-high 15 points, adding eight rebounds. Aleah Snead added 14 points while Tayla Brugler finished with nine points, six rebounds and five assists.
 
Rikki Harris paced Dayton with a game-high 16 points. Jayda Johnson finished with 14 points on the night. Arianna Smith added 11 rebounds to her 13 points, while Nicole Stephens was the fourth Flyer in double-digits with 10 points.
 
Saint Joseph's (21-7, 12-5 Atlantic 10) opened the game with a barrage of threes, five different Hawks burying a triple to open the game on a 20-2 run. Dayton (16-12, 10-7 Atlantic 10) worked its way back in the game, Jayda Johnson drilling four threes in the first half to help the hosts overcome the deficit for a 38-35 halftime advantage.
 
The teams traded runs through the third quarter as the Hawks tallied nine-consecutive points to regain the lead. A 9-2 spurt from the Flyers in the third, along with an 13-0 run that spanned between the third and fourth quarter, built the host's advantage to as many as 14 points. The Hawks were unable to trim the deficit enough to launch a comeback, falling 74-65.
