Back-to-back seasons Herd staff has been honored
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – For the second year in-a-row, the Marshall men's soccer coaches were honored as the United Soccer Coaches Southeast Region Coaching Staff of the Year.
Head coach Chris Grassie along with assistant coaches Petsa Ivanovic, Josh Faga and Kyle Sniatecki, graduate assistant Anthony Uriarte and strength and conditioning coach Sam Black have done an amazing job with the Herd and brought an exciting style of play to Huntington.
In four seasons, coach Grassie and his crew have taken Marshall to back-to-back Conference USA Championship Titles, trips to the NCAA Tournament, and now in 2021 playing in the Final Four of the College Cup for the first time in team history. The Herd has also consistently been ranked in the top 25, with a few times up in the top 10, each week.
Over the last two years, Marshall is a combined 27-5-6 which is good for a .789 winning percentage. The Herd has been dominant on the field this season with nine shutouts with the most recent, a 1-0 clean sheet over the defending National Champions No. 8 Georgetown in the Elite 8.
Marshall has been a powerhouse on the pitch with a stifling defense and an attacking offense. The Herd has outscored its opponents 28-8, and outshot the competition 254-99 and 111-28 on goal.
This season, coach Grassie was named Conference USA Coach of the Year for the second consecutive time and the team piled up numerous awards yet again, with the goal of a National Championship still in front of them.
The Herd plays No. 16 North Carolina on Friday at 6 p.m. The match will be broadcast on ESPNU.
