Five different Dayton Flyers scored in double figures in the Red & Blue Exhibition as UD Red edged UD Blue 47-46.

Junior Andres Sandoval led all scorers with 15 points, while junior Brian Roberts added 14 points shooting 5 for 9 from the floor and 2 of 3 from three-point range.

"(Today) was (designed) to get the 11 guys out there playing and competing and I thought we did some really good things," head coach Brian Gregory said. "Our guard play was pretty good. I think everybody had a couple of pretty good moments there. I thought overall the guys played extremely hard, played well and we did some good things."

Senior Monty Scott enjoyed a perfect game chipping with 11 points. Scott shot 4 for 4 from the field, including three from three-point range.

The newcomers made a strong debut as well as freshman London Warren scored 14 points, while freshman Marcus Johnson added 11 points and a game-high six rebounds as members of the Flyers played for both squads running various offenses and defenses in preparation for the 2006-07 season.

UD Blue won the first quarter battle 19-17 as Scott hit two shots from beyond the arc while Johnson added five points of his own.

In the second quarter, UD Red bounced back to take a 12-11 win behind two three pointers from Sandoval. Junior Jimmy Binnie converted on two shots, while Johnson added four more in the frame.

"I've been working hard with the coaches before practice and after practice getting a lot of shots," Sandoval said. "I'm feeling more confident shooting the ball."

The veteran players raised their level of play in the second half as UD Red took the third period with an 18-16 victory. Sophomores Desmond Adedeji and Charles Little each had six points in the frame for UD Red.

Roberts led UD Blue with six points while Scott added five. Little finished the game with eight points and four rebounds.

"We had a little different pace to the game," said Gregory. "We're quick and we can be explosive. I think we shot the ball well and a lot of those shots came off of penetration and kick outs which have been something we've been working on."

The Flyers first exhibition game will take place on Thursday, Nov. 2 against the Northwood Timberwolves at UD Arena beginning at 7 p.m. For single game and season tickets, contact the UD Ticket Office at (937) 229-4433.
