The Marshall Thundering Herd men’s soccer team fell short to the No. 17 Wright State Raiders 3-1 Tuesday at Hoops Family Field.
The loss brought Marshall to 5-8-2 (1-3-1 C-USA), while Wright State improved to 12-1-2 (5-0-1 Horizon) for the 2018 campaign.
Marshall head coach Chris Grassie said while the team fought hard, he attributed the loss to his squad’s lack of persistence.
“An amateur could say they need to concentrate a little more here, fight a little more after they score, and not give away silly little goals,” Grassie said.
Wright State struck first in this non-conference matchup, when junior midfielder Deri Corfe sent a shot past the Herd’s senior goalkeeper Ben Martinez in the 28th minute.
