Duhawks Earn 2-0 Road Victory over Wartburg

WAVERLY, Iowa - In a battle between Nos. 2 & 3 in the American Rivers Conference standings, the Loras College Duhawks fought its way to a 2-0 victory over the Wartburg College Knights on Tuesday night at Salzwedel Field.

The Duhawks (8-2-4 overall, 3-1 A-R-C) got out of the gate on the offensive early when Dani Galiana Torres fired off a shot on goal at 1:38. The Knights (6-1-6, 2-1-2) responded with two shots of their own before Galiana Torres netted his first goal since the season opener at the 7:06 minute mark.

The Knights took another two shots over the next 14 minutes before a foul on Wartburg's Brennon Woody gave Reed Miklavcic a penalty kick opportunity, one that the Frankfort, Ky. native wouldn't let go to waste as he extended Loras' lead to 2-0 with 24 minutes to play it the half.

Two of the following four Knight shots before the end of the half were saved by the Purple and Gold, preventing Wartburg from cutting into the lead before the break.

Over the second half, Wartburg fired off eight shots, three of which were saved by goalkeeper Owen Johnson, who closed out the day with five saves. Between Johnson and Loras' defense, the Knights fell for the first time this year and for the first time at home since Oct. 29, 2022.
