The Duquesne women started Atlantic-10 play in the win column, as the Dukes used a strong third quarter to pull away from St. Bonaventure for a 60-54 victory on Saturday afternoon.

The teams entered halftime separated by just a one-point margin, but the Dukes came out of the break on fire. More specifically, Amanda Kalin came out on fire.

Kalin made a pair of layups to give Duquesne the lead, Libby Bazelak put home a layup and then Kalin hit from 3-point range to force a Bonnies timeout. After a Bazelak block, Kalin hit a jumper and then made a free throw as the Dukes went on an 11-0 run.

The Dukes were able to hold the lead and the closest St. Bonventure got was a four-point margin with under 30 seconds to play, when Bazelak and Chassidy Omogross each hit late free throws to preserve the victory.
