A tremendous effort by the Dukes who knocked off Unbeaten Sacred Heart today 28 to 24 to set up another championship game against Central Connecticut State for the second consecutive season! Offensive line and AJ looked great and defense came up big today!

Fantastic win against a good team. It was a bit cold so we watched the game in the little bit of sunshine in the beer garden stands. Of course, the sun wasn't the only reason to sit there!

Then went down to the fantastic beer tasting in the auxiliary gym before another big win on the court to start the season there!

Both tickets and the beer tasting with snacks from the Red Ring all you a $20.... best event in Pittsburgh... surprised more weren't there!

Thanks for the update and how many people made the beer tasting? I also am curious about the attendance overall and how many people made both? Unfortunately I didn't make both games myself and agree with you that it was a great idea

Probably no more than a couple dozen at the tasting. Lots of extra beer left and some nice glasses too.

Feels like Sacred Heart has been the gatekeeper the last several years, with the Dukes often falling short. Good to finally get 'em.
