Dayton wins set 3 25-16 and sweeps the match 3-0. The Flyers will play #6 Washington tomorrow. They played last season and it was a 5 set win for the Huskies...👀   It's two seasons ago (2018), but this Dayton team is going to give Washington a lot of trouble. An aggressive setter and tough serving, the two things Washington hates the most..lolYou’re right! Last season it was Florida! The 2020 season has me all messed up!

That’s a really nice win for the Flyers in a season that we weren’t even sure they would play back in January. They beat Michigan last year in 5; they can play with the big dogs.

Yup, they'll be moving on (or back) to Maryland.

It doesn't matter anymore who Dayton played. What matters is how well they play tomorrow.

That’s who they played, nobody was debating their schedule. I like Dayton and think there good, again, it’s the definition of big dogs that determines if they can hang. By your definition of being power 5 member, they can. If it’s top 10-15 I don’t believe they can.

Dayton looked really good to me. They could be dangerous.

Again, I questioned the definition of big dogs which the poster defined as power 5 teams. Also again, I think Dayton is good.

Dayton looked really good to me. They could be dangerous. I think Towson made them look good, but I could be wrong. My confidence level is only at 96.3%.

Sure they lost both in 5 but like someone said taking those schools to 5 as a private uni in the Atlantic 10 is very impressive. Also that win over Michigan was very solid

Anyone want to make the Washington vs Dayton thread?
