VALPARAISO, Ind. (AP) — Bryce Schondelmyer threw for 202 yards and three touchdowns, and Dayton defeated Valparaiso 41-10 on Saturday for its fifth straight victory.
Dayton (5-1, 3-0 Pioneer) led 41-0 at halftime, with 27 points coming in the second quarter. The Flyers have outscored opponents 49-14 in the first quarter this season, including shutting out the opposing team four of the six opening quarters.
Schondelmyer had touchdown throws to Donovan Weatherly, Michael Mussari and Dominic Vrbancic — with the three receivers combining for four catches for 49 yards. Schondelmyer has thrown 15 touchdowns on the season with no interceptions.
The Dayton defense turned the Beacons over on downs on their first possession of the game, and Mac Grant III ran an interception back for a 43-yard score on Valpo's second drive.
Rowan Keefe and Caron Tyler each threw an interception for Valparaiso (1-5, 0-2), which dropped its fifth game in a row. Keefe went 5 of 6 for 113 yards with a 25-yard touchdown to Brayden Welch.
