Burlington, Vermont - Duquesne University's women's soccer team's strong attack wasn't enough as the Northeastern Huskies edged the Dukes, 1-0, Saturday afternoon at Vermont's 2006 TD Banknorth Soccer Classic on UV's Centennial Field.
Seven of Duquesne's nine shots were on goal; all were stopped by NU's Annie Petrofsky in the CAA team's season opener. DU senior Ginny Bondi recorded three saves allowing only Jenna Lucchessi's 14-footer past the goal line with just under 10 minutes left in the first half.
Juniors Audra Mathews and Faye Rasmussen and sophomore Shelley Esposito each got off two shots.
