Conference USA is giving a nod to Marshall’s shiny new soccer complex by awarding its men’s soccer tournament this fall to Huntington.
The final decision came down Tuesday, as the league’s Board of Directors wrapped up its annual June meeting. The 14 schools’ presidents and chancellors put their stamp on all championship sites for 2016-17, plus those in fall 2017.
The Veterans Memorial Soccer Complex, built on the site of the old Veterans Memorial Field House at the corner of Fifth Avenue and 26th Street, opened in 2013. It was the first phase of MU’s improvements funded mostly by contributions to the Vision Campaign.
