SEMIFINAL UPDATE: #1 Dayton 39, #4 George Washington 25....AT THE HALF

George Washington's shooting is matching the frigid temperatures inside the Richmond Coliseum.

The Colonials matched Dayton briefly point for point in the opening three minutes, but fell behind, missing 10 consecutive shots at one stretch, and finishing 6-for-33 (18.2%) from the floor in the first half.

Inside forces Jonquel Jones and Caira Washington each have two fouls. Danni Jackson leads GW with 11 points, while all 8 of Hannah Schaible's points have come at the free throw line. She's helped keep her team alive with drives and offensive rebounds, extending possessions.

Ally Malott has continued her strong play from yesterday's second half against VCU, leading the top-seeded Flyers with 12 points and 7 rebounds, despite tweaking her ankle with 3:42 to play. She left briefly, but did return before the half. A-10 Player of the Year Andrea Hoover has 9.

Dayton lost in the semis of last year's tournament after an undefeated regular season. They're 20 minutes away from clearing that hurdle, and punching a ticket to Sunday's title game.
