Last Time Out: 1-1 draw vs. Ohio Valley
After waiting 440 days to finally take the pitch, Marshall played to a 1-1 draw with the Ohio Valley Fighting Scots. OVU scored first in the 72nd minute with a header in the far end of the goal from a corner kick. The Herd finally knocked in the equalizer in the 87th minute as sophomore Gabriel Alves scored his first career goal on a header just in front of the keeper off a corner kick from junior Jan-Erik Leinhos, his fourth career assist. The teams battled through a physical match as the squads combined for 36 fouls and nine yellow cards.
Six players saw their first action with Marshall in the match. Along with Alves the other five were junior goalkeeper Oliver Semmle, junior centerback Nathan Dossantos, freshman forward Kain Reed, sophomore midfielder Jacob Adams, and freshman midfielder Louis Instrall. Semmle recorded one save and allowed one goal while playing all 110 minutes. Dossantos also played the entire contest along with returners junior Vitor Dias and senior Jamil Roberts.
Schedule Changes

He is 38-4-6 over the past three years and won the 2019 River States Conference Championship Title, earning a trip to the NAIA National Championship Tournament. WVU Tech fell in the first round to Madonna University (Mich.), 2-1. The Golden Bears finished the 2019 season with a record of 17-1-2 and a perfect 9-0 in conference.
Through its eight contests, WVU Tech has outscored its opponents 35-10. The Golden Bears have outshot the opposition 157-98 including 85-55 shots on goal.
