Women’s Soccer Falters Against App State

The Herd Women’s Soccer Team suffered its fifth Sun Belt Conference loss 5-1 against the Appalachian State Mountaineers on Sunday, Oct. 8.

Freshman Katie Porter scored the first goal of her career and of the match in the second minute. Porter positioned herself in the box and launched the ball, which deflected off of an Appalachian State defender and into the net to give the Herd an early 1-0 lead.

Going into the second half, Marshall led by one despite being outshot 8-4 in the first half. The Mountaineers equalized the game in the 48th minute after a goal from Olivia Simon.
