George Washington (9-4, 2-0) held the Dukes (5-7, 0-1) to eight second-half field goals and 22 points, their lowest second-half output of the season. Forney and Jon Pawlak were the leading scorers for the Dukes with 12 points each.
Duquesne continued its struggles on the road, dropping to 1-5 this season after finishing last year 0-12 away from home. The Dukes have also lost 15 of the last 16 meetings against George Washington.
