• The Dukes - as are all DU athletics teams - wore white wristbands with the number "5" in navy blue on them to honor the five Duquesne basketball players shot last Sunday

• The win was Duquesne's third in a row over a Northeast Conference team this season (Robert Morris and Saint Francis are the others) ... DU is now 6-1 against teams from the Northeast Conference since 2003

• Sophomore quarterback Scott Knapp (Pittsburgh, Pa. / Perry Traditional Academy) completed 21-of-29 passes for 259 yards and three touchdowns, giving him seven TD tosses in DU's last two games ... Knapp has 11 touchdown passes in four games this year - nine of which have gone to junior receiver Bruce Hocker (Upper Marlboro, Md. / Eleanor Roosevelt)
