Holder averaged 30.1 yards per catch en-route to posting the first 200-yard receiving performance in a Northeast Conference game since 2017. The 6-foot-4 senior made seven receptions for 211 yards and two long touchdowns during Duquesne’s 35-17 triumph over LIU. After the visiting Sharks took a 7-0 lead, Holder answered by taking a pass 75 yards for a touchdown on a 3rd-and-12 play in the final seconds of the first quarter. Breaking a 7-7 tie, Holder went long again by snatching a pass deep over the middle and sprinting for a 60-yard score with 4:33 left in the first half. Holder logged three first downs in the fourth quarter, helping the Dukes salt away their third straight NEC win.
