Saturday's game marks the 10th meeting all-time between the Aces and Redhawks with SEMO holding a 6-3 advantage in the series.

Against the Redhawks, seniors Kerri Gasper and Marley Miller led Evansville with 12 points each. Gasper recorded her third-straight double-double with 11 rebounds to go along with her 12 points. For Miller, the game represented the fourth-straight game in which Miller hit three or more triples, tallying four three-pointers against SEMO. Also finishing in double-figures was redshirt senior Brooke Bishop, who finished with 10 points on the afternoon.

Saturday's contest between the Aces and Flyers is the 15th meeting between the two sides with Evansville leading the all-time series, 8-6. Evansville and Dayton last met during the 1992-93 season with the Aces earning a 59-55 victory in Evansville. A win would give the Aces its fourth-straight win over the Flyers as Evansville won three-straight matchups with Dayton from 1991 to 1993. Entering the weekend, Dayton holds a 3-5 record and is coming off a 72-59 win over Buffalo last Friday. Three Flyers average double-digits in scorings, led by Jayla Scaife, who is averaging 14.3 points per game while leading the team with 7.0 boards per game.
