No. 13 Herd men’s soccer crowned 2019 C-USA Champions, first NCAA appearance

Pedro Dolabella kicks through two of Charlotte’s players in the Conference USA Championship match on Sunday.

With 7:30 left in the second overtime period of the 2019 Conference USA Championship match, junior midfielder Pedro Dolabella headed the soccer ball into the goal to claim the 2019 Conference USA men’s soccer title for the Marshall University Thundering Herd over the Charlotte 49ers, 1-0.

“I can’t imagine an ending like this,” Dolabella said. “We’ve been overlooked, and we proved again that we are the best team. Whatever happens, we are the best. Everybody deserves it. Nobody works harder than we do.
