Romberg, a native of Germany, leads the team with 17 points on a team-high six goals and five assists, second most on the team. The senior capped off the season with a two-goal contest on Tuesday against Old Dominion to help the Herd clinch its second regular season SBC Championship.
Pahkmov, a junior from Russia, sits in second behind Romberg with 10 points on four goals and a pair of assists this season. The midfielder netted the game-winning on October 25 in a 2-0 win at Georgia State.
Pierre-Louis has made an immediate impact as a freshman for the Herd. The forward leads the team with six assists, tied for second most in the SBC. The native of Miami, Florida, registered three goal contributions in a 5-1 win at UNCG on October 13 with a pair of assists and a goal.
In the defensive midfield and on the backline, Machado has helped the Herd to four clean sheets while contributing two goals and three assists for seven points during his freshman campaign. The native of Portugal tallied the game-winner on October 30 at South Carolina in the 2-1 win.
Obert started eight of Marshall's contests in goal sporting a 3-2-3 record with a clean sheet in a 1-0 win at Kentucky on September 18. The native of Germany made four saves in a pair of matches at UC Santa Barbara on August 27 and against West Virginia on September 27.
