HUNTINGTON, W.Va. – The Marshall men's soccer team is back in action as No. 17 Wright State comes to Hoops Family Field, Tuesday at 7 p.m.
The Thundering Herd comes in to the match with an overall record of 5-7-2. The Raiders enter at 11-1-2.

Marshall is coming off a close 1-0 loss to Charlotte on Saturday. The 49ers managed the game-winning goal with just over one minute left in regulation. Senior keeper Ben Martinez has started the last two matches for the Herd and has a 1-1 record. Martinez has recorded seven saves and allowed two goals. The Marshall offense has put up 19 goals this season with 10 different players with at least one goal. Freshman Gianni Bouzoukis leads the team with four and fellow freshman JP Rylah is second with three.
Wright State is coming in with a three-match winning, and shutout, streak. The Raiders took down WVU (3-0), Oakland (2-0) and IUPUI (1-0) during the recent stretch. The offense has been prolific with 35 goals in 2018, led by Alec Philippe who is tied for 13th in the nation with 11 goals. Stefan Rokvic is second with nine and Deri Corfe has seven. Joel Sundell has been the main player in the net. Sundell has a 0.95 goals against average (13 goals allowed) and has 41 saves. The Raiders defense has five shutouts this season.
Tuesday will be the 13th meeting between the two programs, a series history that dates back to 1987. Wright State leads the all-time matchup, 7-5. The Herd and the Raiders last met in Dayton, Ohio, in 2013. Wright State won 3-2 in overtime.
Following the match with the Raiders, Marshall hits the road for two Conference USA contests at New Mexico (Oct. 27) and South Carolina (Oct. 30). The match at South Carolina is the rescheduled date after the original contest was postponed due to Hurricane Florence in early Sept.
