Dayton Flyers honor Steve McElvene in pregame ceremony

Dayton Flyers coach Archie Miller presented late center Steve McElvene’s Atlantic 10 championship ring to his mom Jenell Shoals in a ceremony at center court at UD Arena on Friday night.

UD played a video tribute to McElvene 15 minutes before the start of the season opener against Austin Peay. The Flyers watched the tribute from the bench. McElvene’s family then walked onto the court to a standing ovation, and Miller surprised them with the ring.
