A-10 Revenge Tour - 1st 5 Conference Games

[UD94]

Jumping ahead a little bit...I just noticed that Dayton's first 5 conference games are revenge opportunities for their 5 losses in league play last year...@ Duquesne, @ LaSalle are opponent and location revenge matches...UMass, Davidson, GW are opponent revenge matches, this time on home turf.

Just kind of funny the schedule worked out that way. Payback, she is a well you know...

We just lost one game (UTC) and should have lost another one last night on "home turf." I hope that things change and our home turf turns out to be the big advantage this year as in the past. At least if it gets into the heads of the opposition, that is a big help. I saw those games on the schedule and to come out of them 5-0 or 4-1 would be a tremendous statement and start to the A10 season. Got to beat Davidson and GWU at home because those could become tie breaking criteria next March

A win is a win. Go Flyers, hopefully get that home turf streak started again.

	George Washington GEORGE WASHINGTON Students choose from two distinct GW campuses — Foggy Bottom and Mount Vernon. Both are located in historic and prestigious Northwest Washington, DC residential neighborhoods.
