The University of Dayton women's basketball team roared out to a 51-22 halftime lead en route to an 88-56 exhibition win over Indiana (Pa.) Friday night at UD Arena. Kristin Daugherty scored all 15 of her team-leading 15 points in the first half for the Flyers.

Daugherty was one of four Flyers in double digits. Senior Kendel Ross and sophomore Justine Raterman each scored 12 points, as did freshman Kari Daugherty, who came off the bench to tally all 12 of her points in the second half.

Kristin Daugherty made six-of-eight field goals in the first half, while her sister Kari made five-of-seven in the second half.

Redshirt freshman Brittany Wilson was the game's leading rebounder with nine. Ross and sophomore Patrice Lalor each had five assists. Thirteen of the fourteen players in uniform for coach Jim Jabir's squad played at least ten minutes.

Indiana, who is coming off three straight Division II regional appearances and a school-record 26 wins, was led in scoring by senior Sylvie Tafen's 16 points.
