Should mean Dayton plays Ohio State on Sunday, and NIU as their 2nd game on Saturday.

I think this is a Fri-Sat tournament. Usually host teams stack the schedule to their benefit by playing the toughest team in the second match on the day they play 2 matches. So they make the toughest opponent play the second toughest team while the host team plays the weakest team. Thus their toughest opponent has to prepare for the two toughest matches on the same day. It doesn't always work out that way, but that's the norm. For example, Dayton likes to schedule their biggest match on Friday night because they get the biggest student crowds that match. Another "norm" is one match on Friday and two on Sat, but this looks like 2 on Fri and 1 on Sat.
