LAST TIME OUT
Wright State fell 2-0 at Western Michigan in non-conference action last Saturday as the hosts scored two goals in the opening 10 minute.

SCOUTING THE HERD
Marshall is 8-2-3 overall entering Wednesday's match, but only 2-1-3 away from home. The Thundering Herd has seen two Horizon League opponents this season, defeating Cleveland State 3-1 on the road and grabbing a 3-1 home victory over Robert Morris. Marshall finished 2021 with an 11-4-3 record and a 5-1-2 mark in CUSA play, eventually falling at home to Providence in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament last November.

HISTORY VS. MARSHALL
The Raiders fell 1-0 at Marshall on the road last season, but hold an 8-6-1 lead in the series all-time, with the lone tie coming in the last matchup at Alumni Field – a 2-2 draw on October 22, 2019.

DOWN THE STRETCH
The Raiders have two critical Horizon League contests remaining over the final three weeks of the regular season, with both coming in back-to-back matches to close the regular season schedule. The Raiders will travel to current HL leader Cleveland State on Saturday and then end the regular season by hosting Detroit Mercy on Wednesday, November 2. Cleveland State enters Wednesday two points ahead of the Raiders in the standings but Detroit Mercy remains in striking distance in third place just two points back as teams jockey to get the first round bye in the HL tournament.
