App State soccer hosted Marshall University at the Ted Mackorell Soccer Complex Sunday of Homecoming weekend. Following their loss Oct. 11 at the University of Louisiana-Monroe, the Mountaineers fell to the Thundering Herd 2-0.
Both teams got off to a slow start, resulting in a scoreless first half. Despite attempting 6 shots, 3 of which were on goal, App State remained unsuccessful. Junior midfielder Olivia Simon played an aggressive game throughout the match. She brought intensity from the start; nearing the fifth minute of play, Simon took a close shot on goal and followed up with a second rebound that nearly found the back of the net.
