DUQUESNE HEAD COACH AL ALVINE
"While we're all disappointed with the result, I credit the team for their effort and their ability to deal with adverse circumstances beyond our control. This is the youngest group I've ever coached and they've handled everything that's been thrown at them with tremendous composure and a phenomenal attitude. The score doesn't reflect how well we played and how hard we competed. We'll go back to work tomorrow and prepare for Davidson on Sunday."
