Luka Prpa hopes to build on a strong freshman season.

The Marquette men’s soccer team will enter the 2017 season with more than a few questions to be asked. The Golden Eagles lost 13 players to either graduation or other schools, including two seniors and eight letter-winners.

It will be another season of discovery for head coach Louis Bennett, who enters his 12th season at the helm, although there are some stable elements. Sophomores Connor Alba and Luka Prpa were major bright spots for a team that finished tied for second to last in the BIG EAST table last season.
