A miraculous late-season run and shocking first-round win in the Sun Belt tournament was put to rest as the Marshall women’s soccer team saw the end of their season Wednesday.
The three-time defending conference champions of South Alabama took away the chances of the Cinderella story for the 10th-seeded Herd, with two overtime goals from the opposition sealing the fate.
The always-reliable senior Kat Gonzales put Marshall on the board first in the 16th minute, taking a 1-0 lead. Despite pressure on Marshall goalkeeper Alexis Wolgemuth raining down from the champions, she kept the Jaguars scoreless for the first 77 minutes.
