PROVEN AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL
Dayton completed her collegiate career at Oklahoma after two standout seasons at Utah. In 2026, she earned NFCA First Team All-Midwest Region and All-SEC Second Team honors after batting .386 with 51 runs, 13 doubles, eight home runs, 43 RBIs, and a career-best .693 slugging percentage.
Her breakout began at Utah, where she won the 2024 Pac-12 batting championship with a .431 average and earned NFCA Third Team All-America recognition. Dayton combined elite contact ability with speed and dependable outfield defense, finishing that season with a 1.109 OPS while successfully handling all 79 defensive chances.
BUILT FOR BIG MOMENTS
Dayton made multiple Women’s College World Series appearances during her career. Her signature Oklahoma moment came in the 2025 WCWS semifinals, when she hit a game-tying two-run home run with two outs and an 0-2 count in the seventh inning.
Her professional experience has included selection to the AUSL Reserve Pool and time with the Florida Vibe. Dayton now brings her disciplined approach, defensive reliability, and ability to perform in high-pressure moments to Knoxville.
