The St. Bonaventure University women's basketball team heads out on the road to take on Dayton Sunday, Jan. 28. The Bonnies and Flyers are slated to tip at 12:00 p.m. on CBS Sports Network on national tv.

OPENING TIP
The Bonnies look to snap a seven-game losing skid following a 65-40 loss to Saint Joseph's Wednesday evening at the Reilly Center. Isabellah Middleton led the Bonnies with 10 points to go along with four rebounds and three assists.

Bona's outscored the Hawks, 13-2, to end the third quarter, but the double-digit deficit was too much for the hosts to overcome.

Dani Haskell and Tianna Johnson each added eight points for the Brown and White.

LAST TIME WE MET
The Bonnies and Flyers last met Jan. 19 last season at the Reilly Center. Bona's captured a thrilling win after Maddie Dziezgowski's game-winning 3-pointer with five seconds left on the clock. Nadechka Laccen finished with a team-high 14 points in the win while Dziezgowski tallied 11 points.

Bona's trailed by four with just over five minutes to play, but the defense clamped down, allowing just one Flyers field goal during the final stretch.
