ANN ARBOR, MICH. - Torge Witteborg's goal in the 37th minute held as Duquesne posted its first win over a Power 5 team since 2003, defeating Michigan 1-0 at U-M Soccer Complex in Ann Arbor, Mich.

The game was the season-opener for both schools.

Witteborg's goal - his first as a Duke - came off a pass from Cameron Territo. The game-deciding play was initiated when Jacob Casha drew a foul in the U-M end. Nate Dragisich took the ensuing free kick and placed the ball just left of the goal to Territo, who headed to the front of the net where Witteborg - in traffic - put it away with his left foot.

The win was DU's first over a Power 5 team since a 1-0 victory at Ohio State on Sept. 3, 2003.

Domenic Nascimben, playing behind a stout defense, turned away six shots in posting the shutout.

The Dukes, who were outshot 21-8, had one more shot on goal than the Wolverines (7-6).

It was a true team effort as 17 field players saw action for the Dukes.
