HAVE YOU HERD?

KICK FOR THE CURE
Friday's match against UTSA will be Breast Cancer Awareness Night at Veterans Memorial Soccer Complex. Fans are encouraged to wear pink in support of the cause.
THE CULICERTO CONNECTION
The Herd has won all but one game when a Culicerto sister scores a goal in 2014 (3-1-2), with the only loss coming Sept. 19 at Miami (Ohio). Senior Kristine leads Marshall with six goals, 13 points and 15 shots on goal, while junior Kelly claims team-highs of 32 shots and two game-winners.

SCOUTING THE ROADRUNNERS

Led by Anissa Munson's 10 points (two goals, six assists), UTSA is averaging 1.25 goals on 13.2 shots per match.
Friday's match will be the first meeting between UTSA and Marshall.
SCOUTING THE MINERS
UTEP (8-5-1, 2-2-0) split a pair of overtime matches last weekend, falling to North Texas (Oct. 3) and defeating Rice (Oct. 5). The Miners claim a nine-point goal differential, outscoring opponents 20-11. Angela Cutaia tops the squad with 14 points (six goals, two assists), while Sarah Dilling has posted five of the team's six shutouts as goalkeeper.
UTEP leads the series with the Herd, 5-2, with Marshall winning the last meeting, 4-1 (Sept. 23, 2012). The Herd is 2-2-0 against the Miners when playing in Huntington, and Sunday will be the teams' first meeting at Veterans Memorial Soccer Complex.
