GOALS: Hammouda (CSU) 15'
QUICK RECAP: Hesham Hammouda's goal in the 15th minute stood as Cleveland State defeated Duquesne 1-0 in the second round of the Duquesne Invitational on Rooney Field. The win clinched second place for the Vikings in the event that featured Oregon State, Cornell, CSU and the host Dukes. No. 12 Oregon State, which defeated Duquesne 3-2 Friday and Cornell, 2-0 on Sunday took the invitational title. The DU/CSU match was pretty much an even affair aside from the lone goal. The score came when Hammouda took a through pass from Kareem Banton and beat Frymier to the short left at the 14:53 mark of the first half. Frymier got a piece of the shot, but not enough to keep it from crossing the goal line. DU's best scoring chance came with five minutes left when the Dukes got a ball into the box, but Matt Essig had a header blocked and Bryan Fegley also had an attempt dribble wide while in a massive scrum in front of the net. Cleveland State outshot Duquesne 9-8 and had a 6-5 edge in corner kicks. Colin Phillips was credited with three of the Dukes' eight shots, including DU's lone shot on goal. Phillips, who had two goals in Friday's loss to Oregon State and Frymier, who had a pair of saves against Cleveland State, were Duquesne's two all-tournament team representatives.
DUQUESNE HEAD COACH Chase Brooks: "To put in such a great team performance on Friday night [3-2 loss to #12 Oregon State] and to bounce back the way we did today and not really have the energy, consistency and execution that it takes at this level was disappointing. We have to make sure we do a good job of prepping this week and go into two big games next weekend where we need two results."
EARLIER TODAY IN THE DUQUESNE INVITATIONAL: Tournament MVP Timmy Mueller scored in the 80th & 82nd minute - both time off passes from C.J. Brill - to give tournament champion No. 12 Oregon State (5-0) a 2-0 win over Cornell (0-4). Tyler Beck stopped four Big Red shots in posting his first win of the season in goal for OSU.
