McCANDLESS, PA. - Jalen Adaway scored eight of his 12 points in the final 2:13 to break open a tight game and help St. Bonaventure extend its win streak to six with a 65-61 victory over Duquesne at Kerr Fitness Center on the campus of La Roche University on Saturday night.

Tavian Dunn-Martin scored a game-high 18 points for Duquesne. He was joined in double-digits by Michael Hughes, who posted a 15-12 double-double, and Marcus Weathers who finished with 10.

The win gave the Bonnies, who defeated the Dukes 62-48 in Olean, N.Y. on Jan. 15, a sweep of the season series.

The score was knotted at 55-55 with just over two minutes left when Adaway converted a three-point play and followed with a put-back dunk of a Kyle Lofton miss to make it 60-55 with 1:28 left.

Following a Duquesne miss, Adaway was fouled and hit one-of-two free throws with 1:11 left to make it 61-55. SBU rebounded the second miss and was able to run the clock to under one minute before a Lofton miss in the lane.

Weathers was fouled on a made field goal, missed the ensuing free throw and Hughes was credited with a bucket on an Osun Osunniyi goal tend. Adaway followed with two free throws to make it 63-59.

Hughes rebounded a missed Chad Baker 3-point attempt and scored to make it 63-61 with :08 left.

 Lofton, who scored 14 of his team-high 17 points in the second half, buried two free throws for the final margin.

The first half had a little bit of everything including an early eight-point lead for Duquesne, a late 10-point lead for St. Bonaventure, one technical foul and one flagrant 1 foul.

Duquesne jumped out to a 12-4 lead, before the Bonnies held the Dukes scoreless for over seven minutes in putting together a 17-0 run that made it 21-12.

SBU upped the lead to 29-19 with just over three minutes left when Ryan Murphy ignited a 13-2 half-closing run with a jumper. Toby Okani and Murphy added 3-pointers for the Dukes who took a 32-31 lead on three Dunn-Martin free throws with :02.8 left.

The Dukes, who missed nine consecutive shots during the Bonnies' run, made six in a row during their late run.

Duquesne took a brief five-point lead early in the second half, but neither team led by more than four from the 18:12 mark until Adaway converted his three-point play.

The Dukes return to action on Wednesday, Jan. 27 at  Fordham (6:00 p.m. on ESPN+).
