It was already hashed out, but Loras picked up their second win in as many days Sunday beating Concordia-Wisconsin 87-75.

Sabet was the leading scorer for the Duhawks, pouring in 23 points. Sharpshooting junior Jared Pearson stayed hot from behind the arc, scoring 19. Molstead had 16 points and 6 assists.

A thing to note — Loras has been down in size considerably in its first two games. Starting junior C Alex Singleton has missed the Duhawks first two games. So far, the guards fast pace of play has picked up the slack, but that's something worth keeping an eye on.

Central collects another win after a 96-77 win over Principia in an opening weekend invitational at Loras. The game was actually quite competitive for about 75% of the day. The Panthers managed to head into halftime tied at 40, and Central, clearly the better team, only led by 1 with about 10 minutes to go before breaking away.

The Duhawks handled business against the Panthers Saturday night 103-61.

Loras takes care of business in their first game of the year with a dominant 103-61 win over Principia.

Grad transfer Jack Molstead was as good as advertised, scoring 20 points in his Duhawk debut after transferring from Wartburg. Fellow ARC all-conference guard Ali Sabet added 19 points of his own. That's a talented and experienced backcourt for the Duhawks.

Major ARC move! Former Wartburg 1st-team all-conference G Jack Molstead has joined Chris Martin and Loras. Big, big transfer get. Duhawks have quite the core heading into 23-24.

In these wild times, coaches keep recruiting! Loras has recently received the commitments from a really impressive trio via the players' Twitter accounts: Jacob Schockemoehl, a G from local Wahlert Catholic. Loras seems to have beaten out a handful of D2 schools for the local kid. He was also a PrepHoops Class 3A Iowa Mr. Basketball candidate. Juan Avila, a SF from Oak Forest who led his squad to a 28-4 record against some impressive Chicago competition. And finally, just tonight, the Duhawks got a commitment from 6'2 JUCO G Brayden Hennis. A lights out shooter at Rock Valley, Hennis was named 1st Team NJCAA Region 4.

Tough end to the year for Loras. After the loss of Ruggles, DiCanio, and George, guys needed to step up. And guys like Rowan McGowen and JT Ford did big time. By the end of the season, though, the Duhawks had lost Boyd, Matthews, and Navigato from the original starting lineup. Dimitric Young then gets hurt replacing Navigato. Matt Dacy-Seijo missed significant time. Just a long series of unfortunate events which eventually ends the Duhawks season last night. Lucky for Loras, they will be returning all but 1 starter (JT Ford) next season and should return heavily motivated.

#8 Nebraska Wesleyan at Loras tomorrow afternoon. Hopefully we're in for a good one, as the Duhawks have knocked off the Prairie Wolves each of the last two seasons in Dubuque. It'll be a much more senior lead NWU team against a younger Duhawk squad. Always exciting between these two.

Loras picks up a gutsy win at Simpson by 4. I believe the Duhawks held as much as a 14 point lead on multiple occasions, but allowed the Storm back in it to make it interesting. Made free throws down the stretch to close it out. Loras was led by sophomores Jordan Matthews and Jordan Boyd, who contributed 21 & 20 points, respectively. Week off now for the Duhawks before they head to Trine for a pair of non-conference games.

As was said, Loras/Central was pretty wild last night. Loras got out to as much as a 26 point lead with 13:00 remaining. Adam Flinn was unconscious in the second half. Didn't matter where he was, it was going in. For Loras, junior Rowan McGowen lead the way with 26 points. In the games final moments, Central had a chance to take their first lead, when Loras sophomore Jordan Matthews was able to seal the game with a last moment steal & lay-in.

We're only one game in! This conference should be something.

Loras is now 3-0 after a 20 point victory tonight against Concordia-Wisconsin. Surely a different looking group, but the trio of Boyd, Navigato, and McGowen have been impressive thus far. McGowen had 25 points tonight. An additional positive, none of the above 3 are seniors.

Loras got out to a very early 7-0 lead after a Jordan Boyd 3-pointer & dunk and never trailed against Concordia-Chicago last night. A definite new look from the team after the loss of the trio of high scoring seniors, but some young faces definitely stepped up. Soph. Jackson Kolinski didn't miss from the field and had 18 points, and Jr. Rowan McGowen gave his standard 18 points.

Was able to find the video on the Twitter-sphere. That's Duhawk freshman Ocean Johnson with the crossover and big-time slam over a pair of defenders. Lot of exciting youth on the Duhawks after losing the trio of DiCanio, Ruggles, and George. Here's the link to the dunk... https://twitter.com/breakawaybball/status/1191230626516606976?s=21

Haha, I appreciate the warm welcome. ARC will be fun to watch this year!

Hi all! Excited to get this season started with all of you! In regards to Loras, I know they've played in a couple scrimmages. I've heard some of their young talent has been mighty impressive. Heard one freshman in particular had an incredible, non-D3 like play in one of the scrimmages.
