NORFOLK, Va. - Marshall's junior goalkeeper Alexis Wolgemuth made nine saves in a goalless draw Wednesday evening for the Herd women's soccer team (3-6-5, 1-3-4 SBC) on the road against Old Dominion (9-4-3, 4-1-3 SBC).
Wolgemuth's nine important saves were a season-high, and tied a career-high for her, a mark also set in the state of Virginia against Liberty in 2022. Her career-high is 11 also against the Flames last season.

The Lincolnton, N.C. native pitched her 11th career clean-sheet with the Herd. She is third all-time in program history.
Marshall's draw leads to an important point for Coach Rafa Simoes's Herd, who is in the thick of the race for a spot in the Sun Belt Conference postseason championship.
"Today showed how interesting of a game soccer is, it was 0-0 but was an electric game on both ends," Simoes said. Congratulations to [ODU], they are a great team. We had some chances and they had a little more than us, but Alexis had a great day. For us it is no surprise because we see Alexis do that regularly in training. Of course we wanted to win, but I could not ask more from the team. I am very proud of them and we look forward to playing in front of great crowds in our final two regular season matches at home."
