DUQUESNE HEAD COACH CHASE BROOKS
     "We can't question the effort for 90-plus minutes. I thought the guys battled extremely hard on both sides of the ball. We were able to create some good chances and finish the great goal in the first half. It's college soccer, a miss-hit or bad bounce leads you to finding yourself behind the 8-ball a little bit, but I thought our guys responded well. We battled and continue to move forward onto Wednesday."
