Flyers 1, Dukes 0

Flyers got whipped pretty good in the first half and were fortunate to be tied 0-0. Came out and played much better after intermission. Navarro dribbled through 2 defenders and finished near post midway through the second half for the only goal of the night. Saliba came up big with a couple of diving stops. Flyers also had a header clear off the line by the post defender on a corner in the first half. Game was played on turf in a steady cold rain. Really difficult to weight passes well in those conditions.

How can any team look crisp clean and effective on that vomit carpet at Duquesne where football end zones, hash marks, yardage lines, and lacrosse markings are painted all over the field. That dump is a mockery of the game of soccer.

I dont care how bad Duquesne is -- and they are really bad -- when you win at Duquesne you get on the bus and get outta town high-fiving one another for surviving the circumstances.

Last 30 minutes we more of less dominated. Helgason almost made it 2-0 late on a one-timer from the right side of the box after a nice diagonal feed from the center. Mitt save though. For a program like UD that plays on natural grass and never practices on carpet unless they have an upcoming game on it, it almost takes an hour just to adjust your touches and game to the surface. That may explain our slow start.

FIFA can rate the play all they want on these carpets and pretend they act like the real thing that grows from seeds, but its the ultimate fake news propaganda. There is no Fieldturf in existence that bounces or plays even remotely close to natural grass. The eyes dont lie.
