WOAY – Marshall men’s soccer is headed to the NCAA Tournament quarterfinals, after upsetting top seed Clemson on penalties on Thursday.
The Thundering Herd opened the scoring in the 15th minute on a Max Schneider free kick. They remained in front until the 32nd minute, when Callum Johnson equalized for the Tigers.
