The Flyers extended their winning streak to 14 games in a row Sunday with a 57-53 victory at George Washington in Washington, D.C. They secured their 10th 20-win season in the last 11 years. This is also the fourth-longest winning streak in school history.

Dayton returns to action at 2 p.m. Sunday against Fordham (19-6, 10-2) at UD Arena.
