A Regional Non Conference Schedule

[Barney Sentner]

So obviously we don't know when the UD women's 2020-21 season will start but there's been a lot of talk about cutting travel for expenses and distancing reasons. So there a a myriad of teams the UD women can play in non conference including Xavier, Cincinnati, Toledo, Miami of Ohio, Purdue, Wright St., Wright St. yes I put that in there twice since I don;t understand not playing them in fact how about a home-and-home. No need to play at say Buffalo. Any thoughts?

	Xavier XAVIER MUSKETEERS Dayton's biggest rival dating back to the early 1900s. Founded in 1831, Xavier University is a Jesuit, Catholic university in Cincinnati, Ohio. Its three colleges offer 78 undergraduate majors, 43 minors and 11 graduate programs to 6,646 total students, including 3,961 undergraduates. The University is the sixth-oldest Catholic university in the nation and one of 28 Jesuit colleges and universities nationwide. Xavier's nickname is the Musketeers and are fellow A10 Conference members.

It amazes me that teams spend so much money on travel when they can play close by teams. UD could fill its schedule with good teams from MI, IN, IL, KY, PA and TN. Two problems: schools have too much money, so they can travel to wherever, secondly, teams use the travel as a recruiting tool.

Ok playing in Florida is a recruiting tool even playing at UConn but many others and I won't put down institutions, I just don't get. Sometimes it's for the athlete so I understand the home-and-home with Northeastern for Jenna though her sister was gone this past season. I'd like to see Ashland in a regular season game - Ok they're D2 but they're a power on that level.

Not sure anyone, but Buffalo fits that assertion. Otherwise they played in MI and Toledo.

We don't play Wright ST. because at contract renewal, after years of alternating H and H., they wanted to be a BUY game. We did not agree.
The last time we played them was at WSU in the 14-15 season They had a good team who many thought would defeat us on their court. We dominated the stands in numbers and noise.Dayton won 79-76.
I would guess that Dayton would agree to H and H since that was what we wanted at contract renewal time.

Could also play Northern Kentucky -- they're right across the river and already have a UD connection in HC Camryn Whitaker. The Norse have really been an up-and-coming team the last 2 years and I would rank last year's team slightly behind Wright St.
