DUHAWKS ROAD TRIP STARTS IN PELLA… Loras travels to Pella, Iowa on Tuesday to take on Iowa Conference foe Central College. The match marks the start of an eight-game road swing before the Duhawks return to the Athletic & Wellness Center for their season finale on October 29. In last season’s match up, the Duhawks fell to the Dutch 3-1. BACKS AGAINST THE WALL… After starting their Iowa Conference schedule winless in four matches, the Duhawks have their backs to the wall if they hope to earn a spot in this year’s tournament. Best case scenario for Loras is they win out which would put them as a No. 5 or No. 6 seed depending on how the rest of the conference season plays out for other teams.
