Locations of Marshall and West Virginia

The Mountain State Derby is the name given to the men's soccer games between the Marshall Thundering Herd and the West Virginia Mountaineers, the only NCAA Division I soccer programs in the state of West Virginia.[1] In 2019, the teams met in the second round of the 2019 NCAA Division I Men's Soccer Tournament as 11th seed Marshall defeated WVU, 2-1, in front of a then-record crowd of 2,126 fans at the Veterans Memorial Soccer Complex.[2] In the 2021 matchup, #6 Marshall and #4 West Virginia played to a 2-2 draw before a record crowd of 3,033.[3]

West Virginia will join Marshall in Conference USA in 2022, and the rivalry would have become an annual conference game,[4] but will instead be a conference game for just the 2022 season as Marshall is leaving Conference USA for the Sun Belt Conference in 2023.[5]
