DUQUESNE HEAD COACH CHASE BROOKS
     "It's the same play we've had for most of the season but tonight we were able to find the back of the net and that's the difference. We out shot them 12-3 in the first half and really just needed to get our shots on frame. That was my challenge for them at half. Once we started to, I think you saw us start to open up."
