The No. 1 Marshall Men’s Soccer team defeated the University of Kentucky Wildcats 3-0 on Wednesday, Nov. 8, to advance to the 2023 Sun Belt Men’s Soccer Championship.
The Herd is set to take on the West Virginia University Mountaineers in the Sun Belt Championship at Hoops Family Field on Sunday, Nov. 12, in the second installment of the Mountain State Derby this season.
With the Herd’s 11th shutout of the season, it ties with the program’s single-season record previously set during the 2020-21 season.
The Wildcats opened the game with a press style defense that kept the Marshall offense at bay for most of the first half.
