INDIANAPOLIS - A convincing win at No. 6 singles by David Peyton was not enough for visiting Dayton as the Flyers fell to Butler on Tuesday.

Senior Tom Murphy took Butler's James Low to the limit before falling in three sets. After losing the opener, 6-3, Murphy roared back with a 6-1 victory in the second set before falling to Low in the third, 7-5. Murphy falls to 12-2 on the spring season with the loss.
