DAVIDSON, N.C. – Davidson's home volleyball schedule came to an end Sunday afternoon with a 3-0 loss to Dayton in Belk Arena.
The Wildcats fell to 12-10 overall and 5-6 in the Atlantic 10, while second-place Dayton improved to 9-2 in league play and 18-7 overall.
The Flyers hit at a .347 percentage Sunday, including a high of .424 in the first set. A-10 kills leader Lauren Bruns had 16 kills and hit .560.
Hattie Rodriguez and Ciera Cockrell led Davidson with seven kills apiece, while Mason Rooney had a team-high 11 assists and Sam Thompson led with nine digs.
Dayton took the opening set 25-11 and led 22-15 in the second before Davidson rallied to make it close. The Flyers held on 25-23, however, then won the third set 25-17.
Sunday marked the final home contest for four Davidson seniors: Cockrell, Rooney, Thompson and Katharine Franz. They were honored prior to the match.
"I'm extremely proud of their contributions for four years," said Davidson coach Chris Willis. "They began a culture change as well as a level of competitiveness change. I couldn't be more proud of them as people or players."
Up Next
Davidson will play its final three A-10 matches away from campus, beginning with a 7 p.m. contest at George Mason Friday, Nov. 2.
