Dukes up 3-0 over Duquesne, who beat us last year and is a pretty decent program.

We play UCLA over the weekend. They beat VA tech today 4-1

Should be a good test for us.

Does anyone know how we did in our exhibitions versus UNCG & UNC?

Duquesne looked to have a pretty good team last year.

Va Tech was lousy last year.

UCLA made it to the 3rd round of the NCAA tourny last year, and was preseason ranked #26.

Big game Sunday night for the Dukes versus the Bruins.

Hopefully the men come up with a better effort than the women did last night in Blacksburg, one of the most one-sided (against us) games I've seen our women play in a few years.

This. We looked sluggish and sloppy and simply outclassed against VT, and unfortunately we look outclassed against the Terps this afternoon so far. It appears we have some injuries and roster shakeup for this game… and we are offside almost every time we get a through ball and run

Tied with UCLA 0-0 at the half... haven't been able to pay much attention (Braves are on!) but the Dukes appear to be holding their own

Been pretty even game.

They’ve had more possession, but we’ve had more shots.

Dude for JMu almost had a sportscenter worthy top 10 goal.

Hit a perfect scorpion kick off a cross that unfortunately went right at the goalie. 5 feet left or right and you’d be seeing that highlight everywhere

Dukes score at just about the 73 minute mark and lead UCLA 1-0

Go Dukes!!

Brian

Goooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaallllllllllllllllllllllllll

1-0

Goal Dukes! 1-0 with 17 minutes left

Great win Dukes!

Dukes win!

Well played, evenly matched game.

Not much separating the two. Both teams had chances, jmu just got one in.

Nice win for our dukes!

Out freakin standing. What a hard-fought game. Legit P5 team we beat. I guess P5 is still a thing. Anyway, great W!

Looking at schedule, we’ve got 3 games against clubs you’d expect us to win, or at least not lose.

Then comes the gauntlet….three in a row against top tier programs… Virginia and Marshall at home followed by a game at Georgetown. All those clubs are ranked high

Big win! Go Dukes!

Nice win. The goal was Top 10 worthy!

That schedule is how you get at-large bids. Winning the Sun Belt championship will be tough year in year out with Marshall, Kentucky and the likes.
