Dukes Clipped at LIU

BROOKVILLE, N.Y. — The Duquesne University football team dropped a 29-11 decision to LIU on Saturday afternoon at Shark Stadium.

The Dukes fell to 5-5 overall and 3-2 in NEC play. Matt Clark's 20-yard field goal late in the first quarter made it 8-3, before LIU (4-6, 2-3 NEC) added 21 straight points in the middle quarters.

Duquesne struck for eight points in the fourth quarter on an eight-yard touchdown pass from Tyler Riddell to Jermaine Johnson, followed by a successful two-point conversion. However, LIU controlled the ball for more than nine minutes in the final period to close out the game.

The Dukes rushed for 203 yards, led by Ness Davis, who posted 91 yards on 23 carries and added 36 receiving yards on three catches. Shawn Solomon, Jr. contributed a season-high 79 rushing yards on 14 carries.

On defense, Dallas Harper recorded his team-leading third interception of the season, while Jack Dunkley tallied a career-high six tackles and tied his career best with three tackles for loss.

NOTES
  • Dunkley has recorded at least one TFL in six straight games and in nine of 10 this season.
  • The defense registered seven tackles for loss, marking the fifth straight game with seven or more. Avery Morris tied a career high with 2.0 TFLs, Carter Lance added one, and Jabari Odoemenem and Alex Reese III each contributed 0.5.
  • Harper's interception extended Duquesne's takeaway streak to seven consecutive games.
  • B.J. Alexander tied a career high with four receptions, totaling 36 yards.
  • Jermaine Johnson hauled in his second touchdown of the season, becoming the fifth Duke with multiple receiving scores this year.
  • Matt Clark went 1-for-2 on field goals, converting from 20 yards and missing a 40-yard attempt in the final seconds before halftime.
