DUQUESNE HEAD COACH CHASE BROOKS
    "This team plays with a lot of desire, a lot of heart.. They believe in themselves, our philosophy and our principles and when you have those things in place good things can happen. It took us a while to get our road legs in the first half, but once we did, we executed pretty well."
