Men’s Soccer drops SBC championship to WVU

Ninety minutes of regulation, two 10-minute overtimes and 12 penalty kicks decided the Sun Belt Champion, West Virginia University.

Marshall University Men’s Soccer falls just short of back-to-back Sun Belt Championships due to penalty kicks. The game took place Sunday, Nov. 17, at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium in Morgantown, West Virginia at 1 p.m.

“Yeah, very happy. Fully deserving over the course of not just the 90 minutes of play, but several chances over the course of the overtime periods as well,” WVU head coach Dan Stratford said. “We were hungry and excited to give a fair reflection of the team we really are, and I think with the very good Marshall team – I thought we were fully deserving of the result today.
