The lights shone bright last night in Conway, South Carolina, as the #3 Marshall men’s soccer team took on Coastal Carolina. With the big-time matchup and national hype surrounding the opposing Herd, Coastal was not intimidated as they took the pitch. Of all the factors present last night, scoring was not one of them.
Marshall and Coastal came to a 0-0 draw, stemming from a defensive clinic from both teams. The difference between the two sides came with shots, as Marshall got in scoring position 16 times compared to just three from Coastal. The large gap between shots on goal did not affect the scoreless affair.
