PITTSBURGH, Pa. - The Marshall University men's soccer team will continue with the 2008 season with a pair of games at the Duquesne Invitational in Pittsburgh, Pa. Friday and Saturday.

The Thundering Herd (0-3) will open with host Duquesne (1-0-3) Friday at 7:30 p.m. followed by a match against Richmond (0-3) Saturday at 5 p.m.

The Herd and Dukes have only met one other time when Duquesne walked away with a 2-1 victory over Marshall in Dayton, Ohio. The Spiders own a 5-1 all-time record against the Herd winning the last three contests.

In the contest against Liberty, Freshman Aaron Dini (Winchester, Ky.) scored his first colligate goal just under 20 minutes into his career.

For those traveling to Pittsburgh, admission is free for both contests and the game will be available on Gametracker courtesy of CSTV.
