"We are excited to play this weekend," Herd head coach Kevin Long said. "Our backs are against the wall and we need a win this weekend, and next week, to give ourselves a chance to play in the conference tournament. As with the balance of the season, we will be looking to see a higher level of possession than in previous games leading to more chances on attack. At the same time, we need to firm up our defensive third of the field and reduce the chances we give our opponents.
"It is our last home game of the year and I know I speak for the team when I say we want to finish playing at home on a positive note, but more importantly, giving ourselves a chance for post-season play."
Marshall is coming off a 3-0 loss to No. 24 North Texas on Oct. 14. Junior Marah Abu-Tayeh leads the Herd in scoring with eight goals and 17 points. Twin sister Farah Abu-Tayeh is second with five goals and 15 points, and leads with five assists.

The Lady Techsters have won its past two matches over UTEP (1-0) and UTSA (3-2). Mylene Roy-Ouellet and Kaylee Zettler lead the squad with six goals each. Roy-Ouellet also leads with six assists and 18 points. LA Tech has outscored its opponents 32-21 this season.
