Sophomore goalie earned national Defensive Player of the Week honors
Sophomore goalie Cole Blazer’s dad Joe is active on Marquette game days. He makes the short commute from their home in Libertyville, Illinois for every home game, keeps stats and runs the parents’ cookout.
When Cole found out early last week he’d be making his first collegiate start in place of incumbent Jimmy Danaher, he decided he’d hold off telling his father, giving him a surprise when the starting lineups were called.
“Partly I wanted it to be a surprise, and the other part (was) I didn’t want the dad inspirational texts throughout the week,” Blazer said.
