Thundering Herd shock top-seeded Clemson

Marshall took down top-seeded Clemson in the NCAA Men’s Soccer Tournament on Thursday afternoon to advance to the elite eight.

The two teams played through regulation and both overtime periods before the Thundering Herd claimed a 7-6 win in sudden death penalty kicks.

Clemson maintained possession for most of the contest and shot 14 corner kicks compared to one by Marshall but could not gain an advantage in the match.

Marshall struck first with a masterful goal on free kick by Max Schneider in the 15th minute at 14:42 to take a 1-0 lead in the early going of the first half.
