The Marshall University men’s soccer team will travel to play New Mexico University for their second to last road trip of the season. This is the fourth remaining game on the schedule.
“It is a cross country trek for us,” assistant coach Thomas Olivier said. “Traveling late in the season impacts our players’ fatigue, so we have to prep the trip correctly.”
One factor that may affect the men’s team is the pure travel distance from Huntington. The total distance will be about 1,500 miles. That distance is almost 1,000 miles longer than the second most distant trip, which was for a conference game in Birmingham, Ala.
