Duquesne Holds Stonehill to One Score, Wins 14-7
Fourteen points was enough, which tells you what kind of afternoon this was. Duquesne beat Stonehill 14-7, and the Dukes did it while losing the ball three times (an interception and two lost fumbles). Stonehill threw one pick of its own and fumbled zero times, and still could not get past seven.
The scoring was done early. Carson Camp hit Myles Walker for 20 yards in the first quarter, Aidan Garrett punched in a one-yard run in the second to tie it at 7-7, and that was the only time Stonehill got on the board. Camp then ran in from five yards out with 11:19 left in the third quarter. Nobody scored again. Neither team got a point in the fourth, so the 14-7 margin sat there for the entire final quarter and the rest of the third, which is a long time to hold a one-score lead without a cushion.
The yardage was close to a wash on the ground (Duquesne 70 yards on 31 carries, Stonehill 85 on 33) and the difference came through the air, 243 yards to 173. Duquesne also sacked Stonehill's quarterbacks twice to one the other way. Camp went 11 of 23 for those 243 yards, which is a lot of yards per catch and not many catches.
The records say 2-3 for Stonehill and 1-2 for Duquesne after Week 7. Stonehill's offense had a lonely day: one touchdown, and it came on a goal-line run. Take that away and you have a shutout, so give the Dukes' defense its flowers (and a mild scolding for the fumbles).
