A late field goal propelled the Dukes past Robert Morris in the regular-season finale for both teams, pushing Duquesne to 5-2 in the NEC. However, Central Connecticut defeated Mercyhurst, 35-28, securing a 6-1 conference record and earning an automatic bid into the FCS playoffs. The Dukes are not predicted to earn one of the 13 at-large bids.
A road loss to underdog LIU on November 8 proved the difference, as the Dukes held the tiebreaker off their upset of CCSU last week.
