Friday night was the first time Marshall had found the back of the net in three games as the Herd came to a draw against James Madison University. Despite the Dukes considerable defensive efforts, Marshall’s Kat Gonzalez ended the team’s scoring drought in the second half. This crucial goal kept Marshall from dropping yet another game.
Alexis Wolgemuth made six saves, facing seven shots on goal on the night. Her efforts, along with the aforementioned Gonzalez goal, made the difference between drawing and losing. What seemed like a mismatch on paper this season, with a struggling Marshall taking on the Sun Belt East-leading JMU, turned out to be pretty equal on the pitch Friday.
