Duquesne (3-7-2, 1-2-1) got second half goals from freshman Moritz Kappelsberger (48'), Ian Larson (66') and freshman Nathan Dossantos (74') to defeat George Mason (4-6, 2-2), 3-0 in Fairfax, Va. It was the first A-10 win for the Dukes, who remain unbeaten (3-0-2) in the all-time series. The Dukes put together one of their most dominating performances in outshooting the Patriots 17-8. DU keeper Robbie McKelvey was the beneficiary of a strong defensive effort that limited GMU to one shot on goal. It was the first career shutout for McKelvey. Duquesne returns home before heading west to face Saint Louis on Wednesday, Oct. 17 at 8:00 p.m. ET.

DUQUESNE HEAD COACH CHASE BROOKS
     "Before the game we talked about giving 100 percent - whatever that meant to each individual. We were looking for 100 percent focus, 100 percent energy and 100 percent execution of each individual's task. We thought if we did that, we could get the result. The guys believed they could and we put forth the full effort that we needed. Now we have to look forward to the next one."
