Marshall will play host to C-USA series with Tulane, East Carolina, Houston and UAB in Charleston.

"We are looking forward to the opportunity to our upcoming schedule," said first-year Marshall coach Jeff Waggoner said. "Our nonconference schedule will prepare us well for conference play, and Conference USA will be strong as always."

Marshall opens the season Feb. 16-18 at Charleston Southern, then returns to Huntington the following weekend to open the home portion of its schedule against LaSalle in a three-game series at University Heights Field.

C-USA play begins March 23-25 in Charleston against Tulane, an NCAA tournament team last season.

Marshall went 22-32 overall and 6-18 in C-USA last season.
