\nHUNTINGTON, W. Va. (WMUL-FM)- On a beautiful Wednesday August night, Marshall Women’s Soccer (1-0) hosted Glenville State (0-0) for the home opener of the 2025-2026 season.<\/p>\n
Glenville State looked to win its first game of the year, while Marshall looked to go 2-0 for the first time since 2021.<\/p>\n
Lets just say it was a stampede by the Herd, as it would win 6-0, with all goals being scored by different players and outshooting the Pioneers 27-1.<\/p>\n
There was a lot of scoring, so let’s recap, shall we?<\/p>\n
It only took the Herd 11 minutes to get on the board as a perfect corner pass in from Fernanda Dantes would find Geovanna Souza for the first goal of the game.<\/p>\n
After 20 minutes of pressure from the Herd, it would score again as review would trigger a yellow card and a penalty kick for Bailey Fisher. She would go on to convert her second goal in two games and make the score 2-nil<\/p>\n
Only four minutes later, Marshall would strike again. A sequence of great passes finished by Marcella Alves would set up the header for Larissa Ozorio, which gave Marshall a 3-nil lead going into the 2nd half of play.<\/p>\n
Glenville State did show a bit more fight in the 2nd half, as it would get some chances in its zone and hold Marshall scoreless for over 30 minutes of play.<\/p>\n
Dantes put more of her name in the scorebook, as she would add a goal in the 76th minute on a left foot tear-dropper that would find the upper-right corner of the goal to make the score 4-nil.<\/p>\n
It did not take long for the Herd to strike again. In the 82nd minute after a long pass into the box, Kajsa Ekstrom would head the ball that would get a Marshall bounce and sneak by the Pioneers keeper to make the score 5-nil with under 10 minutes to play.<\/p>\n
Surprisingly, there would be a one more goal scored. With under 10 seconds to play, Tiggi Gent was in the right place at the right time, as a ricochet would find her and she would put it in the left side of the goal to give us our final score of 6-nil.<\/p>\n
Marshall is now 2-0 for the first time since 2021 as Glenville State falls to 0-1.<\/p>\n
The Herd will have a couple days to rest before they head to Athens, Ohio to face off against MAC foe Ohio on Saturday, Aug. 24. First touch will be at 4 p.m.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
