As Marshall defeated the FIU Panthers by a whopping 38 points, Herd fans were traveling down the streets to Hoops Family Field at Veterans Memorial Soccer Complex. The men’s soccer team, nationally ranked as the top team in the NCAA coaches’ poll this week, was setting to take the pitch on the same night. In the Cam Henderson Center, while a Marshall squirrel made Sports Center, Herd basketball prepared to take on Davis & Elkins in an exhibition game.
Over 2,500 fans entered the Cam on Sunday for that exhibition contest: a game that doesn’t matter for the Herd’s overall season.
