With the University of Maryland Baltimore County’s loss to the Univer- sity of Delaware on Tuesday, Oct. 1, Dayton is the final team at the NCAA Division I level to be unbeaten and un- tied this season. The atmosphere of Saturday’s game was electric, with families in attendance for parents’ weekend and UD soccer alumni returning to Dayton to watch the Flyers roll to victory. “It was a great night,” head coach Dennis Currier said. “An electrifying night, great weather, great fan sup- port, everything just kind of aligned tonight. The guys were excited and pumped to play under the lights here. They came out and really showed some good soccer tonight.” The first several minutes began in what seemed to be a struggle for either team to score, as the ball worked its way back and forth across the mid- field line, with possessions by each Junior forward Greg Enstone (2) rushes takes a shot on goal during a game against Valparaiso University, Monday, Sept. 30, at Baujan Field.
