CARY, N.C. Marshall made the most of its only shot on goal and thus gets to play for college soccer’s national championship Monday night.
Jamil Roberts scored in the 60th minute and the Thundering Herd advanced to the NCAA College Cup title game with a 1-0 victory over North Carolina on Friday at Sahlen’s Stadium at WakeMed Soccer Park.
Goalkeeper Oliver Semmle made five saves for the Thundering Herd (12-2-3), which will face the winner of the other semifinal between Indiana and Pittsburgh in Monday’s championship match.
FRISCO, Texas – After selecting Nicky Hernandez and Colin Shutler in the first and second rounds of the 2021 MLS SuperDraft, FC Dallas took two FCD Academy graduates and an international player with its three third-round picks.
With its initial third-round selection, FC Dallas took forward Thibaut Jacquel 75th overall out of Campbell University. Born in Saverne, France, Jacquel was part of FC Metz’s academy before coming stateside to continue his development and pursue a degree in communications.
“He’s an interesting player,” said FC Dallas Director of Soccer Operations
Marco Ferruzzi. “He’s a goal-scorer and an international student who seemingly adapted well to domestic soccer. We’re going to see how he does, he’s got some nice traits in front of goal. His numbers speak for themselves with what he did at Campbell. He’ll be another exciting prospect in our camp.”
