Men’s soccer falls short on senior night
The Marshall University men’s soccer team was defeated by the University of North Carolina at Charlotte 49ers by the score of 1-0 Friday. This was the final game for the Thundering Herd men’s soccer this season.
“It’s frustrating because that’s how our whole year went,” head coach Bob Gray said. “It’s a tough conference, and that’s a team that could go to the final four of the NCAA tournament because they have no weaknesses.”
Before the game started, the seniors were honored before the match was played. A total of six players were recognized, receiving framed jerseys from the coaching staff and the university. Emotions were kept mostly in check as the seniors faced one last challenge.
