DUQUESNE HEAD COACH AL ALVINE
"It's always disappointing to put so much into a game and come away with nothing but that's soccer. It was a really hard fought game between two determined and committed teams. Our schedule certainly doesn't get any easier next weekend, but I know our kids are looking forward to playing at home versus George Washington on Thursday."
