DUQUESNE HEAD COACH AL ALVINE
"I am just happy for our seniors to be honest. Obviously the season has not gone the way we've planned, but on a day like today to come out and get a shutout, and play good soccer over the 90 minutes is a good feeling. It does not make up for not making the tournament, and that disappointment, but it softens the blow a little bit and gives us something and something to build on. We've got a really young group of players and that hump we have to get over is closing games out and get those key goals when we need them. If we can start to figure that piece out, this could really be something special. I'm thrilled for the team and thrilled for the seniors to go out on a high note."
