Despite having grown up in St. Paul, Minnesota, sophomore forward Liza Karlen said she felt right at home when she decided to commit to head coach Megan Duffy and the Marquette women’s basketball program.
“Marquette was always one of my top schools in high school just because I felt so at home,” Karlen said. “My mom went here, my uncle went here, I have a lot of family in Milwaukee so growing up I’ve always kind of been around the campus and Milwaukee,” Karlen said.
Assistant coach Justine Raterman knew even during the recruiting process that Karlen would be a good fit for the program.
