DUBUQUE, Iowa – Ali Sabet scored 22 points, Jack Molstead added 18, and Tyler Bass finished with 17 as the No. 25 Loras College Duhawks completed the season sweep over the No. 19 Nebraska Wesleyan Prairie Wolves, 84-64, on Saturday afternoon inside of the Lillis Athletic & Wellness Center.

With the win, Loras (16-2 overall, 7-2 American Rivers Conference) jumped back into the second spot of the A-R-C standings, leapfrogging the Prairie Wolves with roughly three weeks of play remaining.

Jack Groeteke scored 14 points while Carter Glenn added in 11 for Nebraska Wesleyan (17-3, 8-3), which had its 12-game winning streak snapped.

Sabet went 7-for-15 from the field, including a mark of 6 of 13 from behind the arc. The senior guard out of Glenview, Ill. notched a season-high in minutes played with 38.

Molstead matched Sabet by going 7-for-15 (46.7 percent) from the floor en route to his 18 points, his most since scoring a season-high 21 against Blackburn College on Dec. 20, 2023.

Bass went 6-for-10 (60 percent) from the field, in addition to making all four of his free throw attempts. The junior forward threw down a couple  thunderous dunks in the second half, while also hauling in in six rebounds in 30 minutes of play.

Jack Haynes led the team in rebounding with seven, while senior guard Declan Ciurlik had a team-high seven assists.

The Duhawks drilled 12 three pointers, making it five of the last six games the program has hit double-digit shots from beyond the arc.

As a team, the Purple and Gold shot 49.2 percent (32-for-65) from the field, while Nebraska Wesleyan was 23 of 52 (44.2 percent). Loras led for over 33 minutes of play (33:19), despite six lead changes between each program.

Up next, the Duhawks travel to Waverly to take on the Wartburg College Knights on Wednesday, Jan. 31. Tipoff is set for 7:30 p.m.
