TERRE HAUTE, Ind. Jorge Valdes and Garret Ollendieck scored first-half defensive touchdowns, and Lance Rees added a second-half 23-yard touchdown run on a 4th-and-1 play in the third quarter as Indiana State topped visiting Dayton on Saturday evening at Memorial Stadium, 24-13.

Valdes sparked the Indiana State (1-2) defense late in the first quarter as the redshirt freshman safety stepped in front of Dayton (1-1) quarterback Drew VanVleet's pass at the Indiana State 10-yard line.
