Duquesne Dukes Football

Duquesne hits the road for the final time this season when it makes the short trek out to Cambria County to take on Saint Francis.

The two teams picked at the top of the Preseason NEC Coaches Poll will clash under unfamiliar circumstances when the Pioneers visit Rooney Field to take on the Dukes Saturday, Nov. 5 for a noon kick.

In a game that featured over 1,000 yards of total offense, the Dukes were dealt a heart-breaking 50-48 loss in double-overtime by LIU Saturday afternoon at Rooney Field in a Northeast Conference (NEC) game.

The Dukes will look to maintain the momentum of a 30-6 win at Central Connecticut when they welcome Long Island University to Rooney Field Saturday afternoon. Kick off is set for noon.

Duquesne University quarterback Darius Perrantes and kicker Brian Bruzdewicz each garnered NEC Player of the Week honors announced the league office Monday afternoon.
