SAN ANTONIO, Texas - Dayton senior guard Kiki Lund will participate in the State Farm College 3-Point Championships on Thursday in San Antonio.

The event, which is part of the NCAA Division I Men's Final Four festivities, will air same-day tape-delayed Thursday on ESPN at 9 p.m. ET. This is the 20th year for the event.

Dayton is the only school with participants in the men's (Brian Roberts) and women's 3-point contests.

Scheduled to join Lund in the women's three-point championship are West Virginia's Meg Bulger, Morehead State's Tarah Combs, Texas State's Joyce Ekworomadu, Georgia Tech's Chioma Nnamaka, Ohio State's Marscilla Parker, DePaul's Allie Quigley and Miami of Florida's Maurtia Reid.

Lund was 13th in the country this season in 3-pt. FG% (.429, 70-163). She averaged 8.1 points a game. She was part of a dramatic turnaround for coach Jim Jabir's program. The team had won just three games the year before Lund and her classmates came to UD, but the Flyers were 25-9 this season, reaching the WNIT and receiving the first AP Top 25 votes in school history. That's the best improvement by any of this year's graduating classes in the country.

Her career .392 (154-393) 3-pt. FG% is the Dayton record, as are her 70 treys this season.
