Georgia State hosts Marshall on Sunday in its second-to-last home game of the season, looking to rebound from a 2-1 loss to Old Dominion and earn its first win over the Thundering Herd since 2022. Marshall arrives ranked third in the Sun Belt after a 1-0 shutout of conference leader James Madison.

By the Numbers
  • Marshall: 7-2-4 record; No. 3 in the Sun Belt.
  • Georgia State goalkeeper Jackson Burrell: 59 saves and an 81% save rate across 11 matches.
  • Marshall won the teams’ 2025 playoff matchup, 3-1.
Yes, But

Georgia State has struggled in the recent series, with Marshall winning in 2023 and 2025 and the teams drawing in 2022 and 2024. The Panthers have a potential spark in Virgil Dall’Agnol, who has scored in each of his last two appearances.

What’s Next

After Sunday’s game, Georgia State makes its final road trip of the season to face UCF in Orlando on Oct. 29.

Bottom Line

The Panthers need a response at home against a Marshall team coming off a statement win; Burrell’s shot-stopping and Dall’Agnol’s recent form could be key.
