Scouting the Mount – Located in Emmitsburg, Md. … Member of the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) … Owns a record of 0-2-2 through four matches in 2025 and is coming off a 2-2 home draw with La Salle (9/5) … Mount St. Mary's opened its 2025 season with a 2-2 tie at Navy (8/21) before a pair of road losses, including 2-1 at Binghamton (8/28) and 1-0 at Robert Morris (9/1) … Sophomore Jack Kehoe leads the Mount in scoring with six points, as he scored both goals in the season opener against the Midshipmen and also scored against the Explorers … All three of Kehoe's shots on goal have resulted in scores … In his second season as head coach at Mount St. Mary's is Brett Teach (King University '86), who was named to his post Dec. 1, 2023 … Last season Teach guided the Mount to a mark of 3-3-2 (.500) in the MAAC and its first conference championship appearance since 2008 … Duquesne and Mount St. Mary's played for the first time ever last season, with the Dukes earning a 2-1 victory at Rooney Field Sept. 24, 2024 … Former forward Maxi Hopfer (2020-24) scored the game-winning goal at 88:43, less than four minutes after the Mount tied the contest … The victory over Mount St. Mary's last season gave Chase Brooks his 83rd career victory on the Bluff, passing former head coach Wade Jean for the most wins in Duquesne men's soccer history.
 
Power Pack – Duquesne's 1-0 win at Syracuse (9/5) helped the Dukes improve to 3-1-1 (.700) against teams from a power conference over the last four years. In 2022, Duquesne opened its season with a 1-0 victory at Michigan (8/25/22) out of the Big Ten. The following year as part of Fairfield Inn by Marriott Invitational, which was hosted by James Madison, the Dukes posted a 5-1 triumph on a neutral field over Virginia Tech (8/27/23) out of the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC). Last year, Duquesne earned a 1-1 tie at No. 23 Notre Dame (9/10/24), also out of the ACC, before its road win against the Orange Friday at Cochrane Stadium.
 
Veteran Presence – Redshirt senior Diego Chavez has been stout for the Dukes as the starting goalkeeper in the first four games of the 2025 season, registering three clean sheets while posting 14 saves. A transfer from Colorado Mesa, Chavez has started each of the last 40 games he's appeared in dating back to the beginning of the 2023 season and owns a career record of 21-16-87 (.556) during his NCAA career as a goalkeeper. Among Atlantic 10 leaders, Chavez is tied atop the leaderboard in shutouts with Gavin Krenecki of Dayton and Jeremi Abonnel of Saint Louis while ranking third in goals against average (0.50) and second in save percentage (.875).
 
Instant Impact – In addition to collecting the first goal of the 2025 season for Duquesne, freshman midfielder Hákon Dagur Matthíasson set up the second goal of the contest in a 3-0 win over Seton Hill (8/21) at Rooney Field. He fed redshirt junior Jaxon Ervin, who sliced one into the net at 27:21 to give the Dukes a 2-0 cushion. Ervin is Duquesne's active career points leader with 15 points thanks to four goals and seven assists, and the Dukes are a perfect 4-0 when he scores in a game since the beginning of the 2024 campaign.
 
Full Bore – A number of Dukes saw considerable action in their first game at Duquesne in the 2025 season opener against Seton Hill (8/21), none more so than freshman defender Alex Posada. In his NCAA Division I debut, Posada was the only member of the Dukes to log a full 90 minutes. Posada is also the only field player through the first four games of the year to have seen action in all 360 minutes.
 
One – Since the beginning of the 2021 campaign, the Dukes own a record of 31-9 (.775) in one-goal matches after earning a 1-0 triumph at Syracuse (9/5). Included in that stretch is an 18-3 (.857) record in such games at Rooney Field and a 13-6 (.684) mark on the road.
