Junior Kennedy Drey turned in a team-leading 23 points and added 10 rebounds for his third double-double of the year as Thomas Wisecup and Nick Clark each added 10 points, but it was Loras College holding on in the end for an 82-76 Iowa Conference road victory on Saturday afternoon in Dubuque.

Drey connected on 8-of-18 shots and made 6-of-9 at the free-throw line en route to his third double-double of the year.  Clark, who set a career-high with eight three-point makes during Wednesday night's win over Simspon, was held to just one by the Duhawks and 4-of-11 shooting overall. 

Brothers Adam and Jarod Juhl each made a team-high two three-point shots off the bench and chipped in with eight and six points, respectively.  Sean Morgan dished out a career-high five assists as BVU had only 11 on 27 made field goals.

The Beavers shot 43.5 percent overall from the floor, but made just 13-of-21 from the free-throw line.

Loras was just a touch better, shooting 50 percent from the field, while making 9-of-18 from downtown and 15-of-19 at the charity stripe.

The Duhawks shot 63 percent from the field in the first half, including six of their nine three-point makes, and took a 47-42 lead into halftime.

BVU trailed by as many as 10 points in the second hald with just over 8:00 left.  The Beavers, however, had a late surge and got within one at 76-75, but couldn't get a shot to fall over the final three minutes, missing their final six shots.

A bucket by the Duhawks (7-6, 2-0 IIAC) made it a three-point game with just under a minute to play, and they would go on to tack on four free-throws in the closing seconds to finish out the game.

Buena Vista is now 6-7 overall and 1-1 in conference play.  The team will now host a pair of games next week, starting with Coe College (5-8, 0-2 IIAC) on Wednesday night at 8:00pm.
