DAYTON, Ohio - A pair of other newcomers made a big impact to complement the Dayton Flyer veterans at UD Arena on Saturday.
Junior Thiago Cordeiro, a 6-9 transfer from Barton Community College, scored eight points and Wisconsin transfer sophomore Mickey Perry tallied nine points as the red team won two out of three periods for a 43-37 victory.
Senior Jimmy Binnie led all scorers with 14 points, while last year's Atlantic 10 Sixth Man of the Year Charles Little chipped in with 12.
Binnie buried two three-pointers late in the first period to help the red team to an early 13-4 lead. The blue team battled back to win the second period, 16-14, behind a combined eight points from Cordeiro and Little to cut the deficit to 27-25, but the red team evenutally put the game away in the third period winning 43-37.
Dayton will play its first of two exhibition games on Thursday, Nov. 1 at UD Arena against the Findlay Oilers at 7 p.m. ET.
