The West Virginia-Marshall men’s soccer rivalry has been called a couple of things. The Mountain State Derby is the most well-known name. It’s also the Stratford-Grassie rivalry. Most interestingly, it’s been recognized as the most-streamed regular-season college soccer game over the past two years in the nation, according to WVU head coach Dan Stratford.

“There are more eyes on this than any other game in the country throughout the course of the year,” Stratford said. “That comes with a responsibility. We should take some credit that both programs have built themselves to a point where it deserves that recognition and has that scale. But it also comes with the responsibility to represent the state, represent both programs in a really, really positive way and in a positive light.”
