A shutout ended the season for the No. 1 Marshall University Men’s Soccer Team against No. 16 Stanford University on Sunday, Nov. 26, completing the third round of the NCAA Tournament. The final score, 3-0, takes Stanford to the quarterfinals.
Marshall forward Matthew Bell attempted a shot while already being down to Stanford 1-0. Stanford’s defense was stacked by the goal, causing pressure on Bell and the ball.
Theo Godard, another forward, also had some movement with the ball towards a Marshall goal, but Stanford’s defense deflected the shot around the 51st minute mark.
“I thought it was a good performance by us,” head coach Chris Grassie said.
