New season high Bennett had 17 points (5-12 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal over 27 minutes during Wednesday's 76-72 loss to Massachusetts.
Impact Through 16 games in 2024-25, Bennett's scoring average (9.2 ppg) and shooting percentage (42.6) both represent increases from last year's marks. His season-best scoring total wasn't able to propel the Flyers to victory, however, as Dayton suffered its second consecutive road A10 loss and third loss in its last four games. The Flyers have a week off to regroup before hosting George Mason on Wednesday.

In Bennett's only other reserve appearance this season, he logged five points all the same but compensated for them with six assists, though it was Dayton's season opener.
