"Today, we played a very good basketball team. Princeton is 33-1 over the last year for good reason," said head coach Dan Burt. "They are talented, strong, and very experienced.

The Tigers returned three starters from last season's team.

"We were exposed with our inexperience. We had a good performance by freshmen Kadri Lass and Paige Cannon. There are definitely things to build on.

The freshman combined for 37 points.

"However, we looked like an inexperienced team with way too many missed box outs and missed assignments. This is a great learning experience for our freshmen to clearly see how strong you have to be, how precise you must be, how hard you have to play be successful at the highest level, and Princeton is clearly, very clearly a high level top 10-15 team in the country."

Duquesne returns to action on Nov. 20 when they travel to Easton, Pa. to take on Lafayette.
