DUHAWKS HUNGRY FOR FIRST CONFERENCE WIN …Despite taking an early match lead, the Duhawks remained winless after falling to Wartburg 3-1. Week six poses another opportunity for the Duhawks to record their first Iowa Conference win as they face off against Coe College to start the week. Coe, like Loras, finished the NACC-IIAC Crossover Challenge 3-1 this past weekend.
TOTAL TEAM EFFORT KEY TO WEEKEND SUCCESS …Loras' successful weekend was fueled by their balanced play. On the attack, junior
