WALLA WALLA – The Dayton girls’ basketball team overwhelmed DeSales in the first half on Dec 20, on their way to an easy 4-24 win. The win keeps the Lady ‘Dogs undefeated on the season.

Dayton jumped out to a 14-5 lead after a quarter, and the Irish got only a single free throw in the second, as Dayton took a 26-6 lead into halftime.
