PITTSBURGH – The Duquesne women's soccer team fell to the No. 10 Saint Louis Billikens 1-0 Sunday afternoon at Rooney Field.

The Dukes fall to 4-4-1 (2-1-1 A-10) with the loss while Saint Louis improves to 11-1 (4-0 A-10).

Duquesne stood tall for most of the match against the nationally-ranked Billikens, with the only blemish coming in the 54^th-minute.

Fresh off her first career shutout Thursday at Richmond, sophomore goalkeeper Maddy Neundorfer shined in net once again. Despite giving up the lone goal of the match, Neundorfer made a handful of incredible saves to keep the Dukes' deficit at only one. She ended the match with eight saves.

Saint Louis had large advantages when it came to shot totals and corners. SLU totaled 21 shots compared to just four for Duquesne. It also had eight corners while Duquesne had none.

The game was tied at zero at the end of the first half, as the Dukes stifled Saint Louis' offense with strong defending from their back line. Senior defender Ashley Rodriguez was smothering Saint Louis attackers all match, while senior defender Kayla Winicki and freshman defender Eva LaVecchia cleared out the middle.

Unfortunately for the Dukes, Saint Louis would break through with a goal in the 54^th-minute on a beautiful header by Abbie Miller.

From there, Duquesne put on as much pressure as it could, but it was never able to find the back of the net. Freshman midfielder Mackenzie Muir had a terrific chance in the 69^th-minute but her shot missed just high and wide.

Saint Louis played conservative in the final minutes to hold on to the win.

GAME NOTES

• Neundorfer made another eight saves today, bringing her season total to 63. She has the second-most saves in the A-10. Her .829 save percentage ranks fourth.
