For many Marquette fans, it is not uncommon to see sophomore Hailey Block on the sideline of women’s soccer games at Valley Fields. Now they’ll be looking for her in an actual uniform, not just handing out balls to the players.
Growing up, Block served as a ball girl for Marquette women’s soccer games, but now the summer transfer midfielder will be getting prepared to actually play in the matches.
“I just remember looking up to those girls like they’re my hero,” Block said. “I’d hand them the ball and I’d be freaking out about it. I wanted to do everything perfect, everything pristine, without any mistakes and it’s just kind of crazy that I get to be in that position now as a player.
