Dayton wraps up a four-game road trip with its final non-conference game of the season on Tuesday at Toledo. The Flyers and Rockets are slated to begin at 3 p.m. ET in a game that can be followed with live audio and Gametracker at www.DaytonFlyers.com.

After winning 14 of 19 games during the month of April, UD has started May winning just five of nine games. Despite the recent string of trading wins and losses, Dayton enters Tuesday's game just one win shy of last year's pace that saw the Flyers break the school record for victories in a season (36). UD is also just one win shy of its fourth 30-win campaign since 2001 under the direction of seventh-year Head Coach Tony Vittorio.

The Flyers are one of three teams to clinch a berth in the six-team Atlantic 10 Conference Championships that are scheduled for May 24-27 at Fordham's Houlihan Park. UD is currently in third place in the A-10 standings, just a half game behind second-place St. Bonaventure and a first round bye in the A-10 Tournament.

Dayton has made a habit this season of building an early lead and carryingthat advantage to victory. UD has a 14-3 record when scoring in the first inning and an 19-1 record when leading after six innings. The Flyers have also outscored their opponents in all but the first, second and seventh innings this season.

The Flyers enter the meeting with the Rockets with a 13-13 record against non-conference opponents this season including a 2-2 mark against Mid-American Conference teams. UD defeated Ohio while splitting two games with Bowling Green and losing to Ball State.

Following Tuesday's game at Toledo, Dayton concludes the regular season with a three-game Atlantic 10 Conference series against Saint Louis. The Flyers and Billikens square off at Time Warner Cable Stadium on Thursday (2:30 p.m. ET), Friday (Noon ET) and Saturday (Noon ET). All three games can be followed live with Gametracker at www.DaytonFlyers.com.
