HUNTINGTON, W.Va. – Marshall women's soccer (2-7-0, 0-1-0) found the back of the net twice, but fell 3-2 to UTEP (7-2-2, 3-0-0) on Thursday night at Hoops Family Field.
Herd goalkeeper Lindsay Langley made the first save of the contest early in the match in the third minute.
Then in the eighth minute, Marah Abu-Tayeh scored the first goal of the contest on a cross from Rene Ross to put MU up 1-0.
Marshall's 1-0 lead lasted about eight minutes before the Miners tied the game up as Lauren Crenshaw buried a penalty kick the 16th minute.
MU struck paydirt again as Julia Schukle scored her first career goal in a Marshall uniform off a rebound from a shot off the boot of Farah Abu-Tayeh to the Herd up 2-1 in the 22nd minute. Marshall led by the same score at the half.
UTEP came out firing in the second half. The Miners scored two goals in the first two minutes after the break, a Marshall own goal and a goal JoJo Ngongo, to go up 3-2.
Marshall's offense put up two shot attempts in the second half as Molly Preston's was the lone one on target as UTEP played tight defense the rest of the way.
Langley had another busy night in goal making seven saves. She made five or more saves for the seventh time this season in nine appearances, including making at least seven saves in her last four games.
MU had seven shots on target, two by Schukle followed by one each from Metztli Gonzalez, M. Abu-Tayeh, F. Abu-Tayeh, Rene Ross and Preston.
Marshall had seven corners to UTEP's four.
The Herd looks to get back into the win column when it heads to Miami to take on FIU at 1 p.m. on Sunday.
