DUQUESNE HEAD COACH AL ALVINE
"Today's result is obviously very disappointing. There were positives to take from the game, but overall we were not good enough today. Credit to UMass, they played with an energy and intensity that we struggled to match in the early stages of the game. I was proud of the way we grew into the game, but we were nowhere near clinical enough in front of the goal. We're disappointed now, but I'm confident our team will regroup and be ready for Dayton on Sunday.
