PRE-MATCH NOTES

  • Head Coach Rafa Simoes earned his first-career win as head coach Sunday in the team's dramatic win over Belmont. Simoes was an assistant under Ohio's Coach Aaron Rodgers in 2019.
  • The Herd's Angel Fowler scored the 87th minute winner. It was Marshall's latest regulation-winning goal since Morgan White also scored in the 87th to defeat App State on Sept. 25, 2022.
  • Junior goalkeeper Alexis Wolgemuth pitched her sixth-career shutout in the win Sunday. She is fifth in program history in clean sheets.

ABOUT THE BOBCATS
