PITTSBURGH – The Duquesne women's soccer team dropped a tough one at UMass Thursday afternoon by a score of 1-0.

The loss moves Duquesne's record to 4-5-1 (2-2-1 A-10) while UMass improves to 3-5-5 (2-1-2 A-10) on the year.

The Dukes dominated the second half but could not find the back of the net to tie up the game. Massachusetts' goal in the 37^th-minute proved to be the difference.

Duquesne put seven shots on goal in the second half while UMass had only one. Overall, the Dukes had nine shots on goal compared to the Minutewomen's three.

Seven different Dukes recorded a shot while junior forward Jaimi Araujo and freshman forward Maya Matesa led the team with three shots on goal each.

Sophomore goalkeeper Maddy Neundorfer had two saves.

It was a tale of two halves for Duquesne, as UMass dominated shots in the first half with 10 compared to Duquesne's three. The Minutewomen put the pressure on the Dukes' defense for the first 45 minutes and eventually got on the board with a goal in the 37^th-minute.

In the second half, the Dukes came out firing, launching 10 shots with seven of them on net. Matesa nearly scored a few minutes into half after forcing a turnover, but UMass' goalie deflected the ball high.

Freshman midfielder Mackenzie Muir, freshman forward Margey Brown and sophomore forward Brooke Kirstein all had chances as well, but none of them got past the goalkeeper.

Matesa found sophomore forward Emma Bundy for an incredible chance in the 79^th-minute, but she was ruled offsides.

The Dukes would continue to pepper UMass with shots, but the Minutewomen's back line held up for the full 90 minutes.
