COACH RAFA SIMOES<\/p>\n


\n\tHead Coach Rafa Simoes<\/a> is in his third season leading the MU Women’s Soccer program. The former associate with the Herd men’s team is a 2018 graduate of the University of Charleston in West Virginia, where he played for then-head coach Chris Grassie.
\n\tSimoes and the Herd had a resurgent 2025 season. In his second year as skipper for MU, Simoes led the team to win its most games in a decade (8) with four All-Conference selections, also the program’s most since 2015.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

PRE-MATCH NOTES<\/p>\n


\n\tMarshall rallied for a 3-3 draw at Belmont Thursday evening. Sophomore Wiktoria Mikrut<\/a> scored all three of the Herd’s goals, giving her a team-leading four goals this season. Her hat trick was the 10th in program history.
\n\tEight different players have registered an assist for the Herd this season. The team’s 2.50 assist per game average is best in the Sun Belt Conference.\u00a0
\n\tIn the midst of a stretch where Marshall is playing four of five contests away from Huntington, the Herd is 4-4-3 on the road since the start of the 2025 season.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/p>\n

ABOUT THE SKYHAWKS<\/p>\n


\n\tAt 1-0-4, UT Martin is unbeaten so far in 2026 under fourth-year head coach Mike Varga. The Skyhawks have finished level after 90 minutes in its last three matches.
\n\tFifth-year goalkeeper Mac Titus earned All-OVC last season with a program record-tying seven shutouts. Titus and the Skyhawk defense has an additional two so far this season.
\n\tMarshall seeks its first win in program history against UTM. The Skyhawks won the only two previous matchups in consecutive seasons in 2017 and 2018. <\/p>\n
