How It Happened
Dayton broke a scoreless tie late when Laney Huber scored to lift the Flyers to a 1-0 win over Rhode Island in the regular-season finale for both teams Sunday.

Marlee Taylor sent a long cross from right corner. Huber came in from the left side of the box and fired a hard shot over the right shoulder of URI keeper Faith Hutchins for the lone score of the day.

Neither side got on the board in the opening 45. Rhode Island had all four shots on goal, with Courtney Poon's shot straight on from the top of the box in the 41st minute being the best chance of the half.
