COACH ERIC GOLZ'S QUOTE
Tonight was disappointing on a number of different levels. I think conceding a goal 90 seconds in to the match is putting yourself in a hole and you're constantly chasing the game. At times we played some really good soccer tonight. We created a number of good chances to put some balls in the back of the net. There were critical moments in the game where we lacked conviction to make plays. I think that we had the better chances, overall, but they (Duquesne) did a good job of capitalizing on theirs and they played with more heart than us. That was the disappointing part. We have no choice but to learn from this and move forward. We have another critical match coming up on Sunday.

UP NEXT
Dayton continues Atlantic 10 action this weekend with a home match Sunday, Oct. 15 vs. George Washington (9-4-2, 4-2-1 A-10).
