Long Island led 38-32 at halftime and 58-54 after three quarters, but Dayton surged with a 27-point fourth period. Nayo Lear led all scorers with 24 points and added seven rebounds and six assists for the Flyers. Molly O’Riordan contributed 11 points off the bench. The Sharks were led by a balanced attack but could not sustain their early momentum. Dayton improved to 5-4 overall, while Long Island fell to 4-4. Attendance was 1,748.

Preview: Long Island Sharks at Dayton Flyers DAYTON, Ohio (Interstat) — Two teams seeking momentum will meet Sunday when the Long Island Sharks visit the Dayton Flyers in a nonconference women’s basketball matchup at University of Dayton Arena. Both sides enter with 4-4 records, though their paths have diverged recently. Long Island (4-3) has dropped two straight, including a 58-43 home loss to Rider on Tuesday. Dayton (4-4) is also looking to rebound from a 54-42 defeat at George Washington on Wednesday. The Sharks will lean heavily on forward Kadidia Toure, who has been a consistent force. She is coming off a 14-point, 15-rebound double-double against Rider and has averaged 18 points and 8.5 rebounds over her last five games. Her interior presence will be a primary focus for Long Island’s offense. Dayton’s performance has been more inconsistent. Player to watch Maliyah Johnson scored eight points off the bench in the loss to George Washington but has seen limited minutes in recent contests. The Flyers will need more production from their supporting cast behind leading scorers like Nicole Stephens and Fatima Ibrahim. Historically, this is a rare meeting between the programs. The game represents a final tune-up before both teams enter extended stretches against regional and conference opponents. For Long Island, it’s a chance to steady itself before a trip to Xavier. For Dayton, it’s an opportunity to build confidence ahead of a daunting visit to Purdue next week. The key matchup will be in the paint, where Toure’s rebounding prowess for the Sharks will test a Dayton squad that has struggled at times to control the glass. If the Flyers can limit second-chance points and find a more reliable scoring rhythm, they will have the home-court advantage. However, if Toure dominates the interior, the Sharks are poised to snap their skid. Tip-off is set for Sunday afternoon. —30—
