Last spring I wrote a story featuring incoming soccer freshman Luka Prpa, the highest-ranked recruit in program history. The story was titled “Luka Prpa could be the next Marquette soccer star.”
Let me revise that now. Luka Prpa IS the next Marquette soccer star.
The freshman phenom has five goals and five assists this season, good for 15 points in college soccer’s unusual point system. His back-to-back two goal and two assist outings against Northern Illinois and Illinois-Chicago is a feat no other Marquette player has ever accomplished.
He’s already surpassed the scoring output of everyone on the 2015 team besides leading scorer Kelmend Islami.
