Marshall heads to Coastal Carolina for a win-or-wait regular-season finale, with a victory guaranteeing the Herd a spot in the Sun Belt tournament. A loss or tie could still be enough, but the crowded standings mean tiebreakers may decide its postseason fate.

By the Numbers
  • Marshall: 7-5-5 overall, 3-3-3 in the Sun Belt and 12 conference points.
  • Coastal Carolina: 8-7-3 overall, 2-5-2 in conference play and 8 points.
  • The top 8 teams advance; Marshall is in 7th, with 3 teams one point behind.
  • Kickoff is Sunday at 1 p.m. ET in Conway, South Carolina.
Yes, But

Marshall can qualify with less than a win, but its position is vulnerable to results elsewhere and possible tiebreakers. Coastal Carolina also needs a win—and help from other teams—to reach the tournament.

State of Play
  • Marshall has gone scoreless in its past 2 matches.
  • A win would secure Marshall’s second straight conference-tournament appearance and its first consecutive winning seasons.
  • The Sun Belt tournament begins Nov. 9 in Foley, Alabama.
What’s Next

Marshall visits Coastal Carolina Sunday. The result, along with other conference games and any applicable tiebreakers, will determine whether the Herd advances.

Bottom Line

Marshall controls its clearest path to the postseason: win and qualify. Anything less leaves its season in the hands of the standings.
