Sophomore midfielder Megan Menzuber and junior attacker Cate Soccodato share two things in common: they’re both key players on the Marquette women’s lacrosse team and former high school tennis champions.

Menzuber, who helped lead Holy Family Catholic high school to a Minnesota state title in 2014, had a family connection with tennis: her father Mark played the sport at the U.S. Naval Academy and passed on much of what he learned to Megan.

“When I started my sophomore year, I was a little behind everyone else, so we would go out and hit and he would try and coach me,” Menzuber said.
