Marshall women’s soccer scored three second half goals to pull off a 3-2 comeback win over FIU Sunday at Hoops Family Field.
With the win, Marshall moved to a record of 4-4-2 (2-1-0 C-USA), while FIU moved to 0-11-0 (0-3-0 C-USA). Herd head coach Kevin Long said his team’s persistence through rainy conditions factored into its second C-USA win of the season.
“(The match) wasn’t pretty, which matched the elements today,” Long said. “We had some good chances but we looked a little out of sync. But I thought they showed great resolve and persistence.”
FIU took a 1-0 lead when freshman forward Kaydeen Jack scored in the 18th minute on an assist by freshman midfielder Kedie Johnson.
