DAVIDSON, N.C. -- The Davidson volleyball team returns home after a three-game road trip to host No. 18 Dayton on Friday and Saturday inside Belk Arena.

Friday's first serve is scheduled for 7 p.m., while Saturday's match will begin at 2 p.m. and air on ESPN+ with Sam Goldfarb on the call.

Prior to its trip to Rhody, Davidson opened up A-10 play with a two-match sweep over George Washington, before dropping three-straight to Loyola Chicago and VCU.
  • Senior libero Bella Brady ranks 15th in the nation in digs per set (5.17) and 33rd in total digs (326).

  • Freshman Mia Compas has also made a splash, garnering Rookie of the Week recognition in early September. The California native holds a .246 attacking percentage and 18 total blocks.
  • Middle blockers Sola Omonije and Kayla Davis are dominant at the net. Davis holds a team-best 51 total blocks, followed by Omonije's 39 stuffs. The two are also Davidson's top-two attackers, with Omonije swinging .383 and Davis at a .370 clip.
SCOUTING THE FLYERS... The Flyers returned to the top-25 this season, starting off Atlantic 10 play 7-0 and improving to 18-2 overall. Dayton has fallen to No. 12 Marquette and No. 2 Louisville, both in five set matches, and picked up notable wins over No. 24 Western Kentucky and Drake.
