DUQUESNE HEAD COACH CHASE BROOKS

     "We had a great battle this afternoon. Their record is what it is for a reason, they are a quality opponent. We were right there with them. We can take away a lot of positives from today's game. We played extremely well at times, but again, we made a couple of little mistakes that we have to learn from as we continue to prepare for Atlantic 10 play."
