Dayton Air Strikers looking to continue winning streak, showdown with Rochester tonight

    The Dayton Air Strikers look to continue their hot streak as they take on the PBL Champion Rochester Razorsharks tonight at 7pm @ Roosvelt. The Razorsharks are 9-1 and atop the Eastern Divison in the PBL, whle the Strikers are tied for second in the divison (3-4) and look to get to .500 for the first time this season. The Strikers lost to the Razorsharks in their last meeting, in which it was decided in the last 5 minutes of the game, with Rochester making more clutch plays en route to the road win. However there was a huge disparity at the free throw line as the Razorsharks shot 30 more Free Throws than the Air Strikers, due to a huge physical presence and a championship mentality which the Air Strikers look to match.


Coach McGuire leads the Strikers in combat

The Air Strikers have teamed up with the youth programs in Vandalia, Kettering, and now head into the Dayton Public School area as they continue to build their Air Striker Youth Program, which is suprisingly faring well.
