PITTSBURGH (KDKA/AP) - The Duquesne Dukes extended their winning streak to 11 games Wednesday night with help coming from all five of their starters.

Forward Bill Clark led the team with 23 points, 10 rebounds and four assists. B.J Monteiro added 19 points, Mike Talley 12, and 10 points from both T.J. McConnell and Damian Saunders.
