Having bounced back from a loss on the road to St. Joseph's with a 50-point win over Richmond, the Dayton women's basketball team is ready to continue making a run through the Atlantic 10.

With the big win over the Spiders at UD Arena, Dayton improved to 3-1 in Atlantic 10 play. Now coach Jim Jabir and his squad will look to get some big wins on the road. It will be a tall task for the Flyers, however, who will be playing Duquesne and Xavier, the only two unbeaten teams in the A-10.

"We love playing here and it showed [against Richmond], but we need to learn how to play on the road," Jabir said of his team's success at UD Arena.

When tough opponents loom ahead on the schedule, some teams fall in to what is called a "trap game." The Flyers, led by Justine Raterman, surpassed the "trap game" and can head to Pittsburgh to take on Duquesne with full confidence.

"We really clicked," Raterman said. "Hopefully this win will give us confidence heading into next week's games."

It will take more than just confidence to get a win at Duquesne. The Dukes received votes in the national rankings poll this week for the second time. With a 14-5 record (4-0 in Atlantic 10 play), they claim the top spot in the conference along with a Xavier team that shares the 4-0 mark.

Duquesne is working on a four game win streak, most recently an overtime victory at home versus Massachusetts, so Wednesday's contest with the Flyers should prove to be their toughest competition in conference play so far.

While Raterman leads the Flyers, Samantha Pollino leads the Dukes averaging 13.3 points per game and just under 30 minutes. The two will most likely match-up against one another Wednesday.

Another player the Flyers will have to try and shut down is sophomore forward Alex Gensler. Gensler has gone for 20 or more points five times this season, making her a prolific offensive threat.

The conference meeting will be the only time these two face off this season, unless they were to play each other in a post season tournament.

Both teams rank in the top three in the Atlantic 10 in scoring, so the game figures to be an offensive shootout.

Game tracker will be available on DaytonFlyers.com when the game tips off at 7 p.m. Wednesday.
