Bennett, Mirsberger reflect on COVID-19 crisis

Head coach Louis Bennett stands on the sideline in Marquette's 2-1 exhibition win over the Milwaukee Torrent.

With the unprecedented unraveling of many events during the coronavirus outbreak, the Marquette men’s soccer team saw its spring season come to a screeching halt.

“My first thoughts were, ‘We’re lucky everyone is safe.’ Nothing is more important than the health and safety of our players,” head coach Louis Bennett said.

Bennett praised the safety measures put in place by Marquette and the NCAA, even if it meant the cancellation of all spring soccer events.

“I’m just a soccer coach, I’m not a health expert,” Bennett said.
