MU men's soccer downs VMI in exhibition
HUNTINGTON -- Marshall defeated VMI, 4-2, in a Friday afternoon men's soccer exhibition match at Sam Hood Field.
Kolby LaCrone scored a pair of Marshall goals. Osric Flores and Sterling Flunder both had one goal.
LaCrone's first goal was a penalty kick in the first half. The senior from Zanesville, Ohio, struck again at the 50-minute mark on an assist from Sammy Boateng.
Flores opened the scoring at the 15-minute mark off a rebound.
Flunder also connected on a penalty kick.
"I knew going into this year we are going to score goal by committee," Marshall head coach Bob Gray said. "We had a lot of chances today. Our final pass needs to be sharper but it's always good to put four in the back of the net."
Goalkeeper Greg Walter made five saves.
Marshall opens the season Friday against College of Charleston at the Davidson Invitational.
