In the Game

The television camera caught me spontaneously lifting my hands up in disbelief and complaining about a referee’s call during a close Dayton Flyers women’s basketball game against the Saint Joseph Hawks earlier this season. In my defense, I bleed red and blue.

Gratitude

In my Thanksgiving message to the University of Dayton community, I reflect on why this holiday holds such meaning. It's about going home ? to a place beyond the family table to one in our hearts.

Coaching Character

It didn?t surprise me to hear that Alexis Kiehl is one of 10 finalists for the prestigious 2017 Senior CLASS Award in women?s collegiate soccer. It?s not because she leads the Atlantic 10 in goals scored this season, an impressive achievement. This recognition goes beyond competition to character.
