Playing goalkeeper for Marquette women’s soccer is a distinct privilege. There have been just three regular starters in the Golden Eagles’ net over the past 11 years. Freshman keeper Maddy Henry is set to join that exclusive club.
Marquette’s practice of starting goalkeepers for the entirety of their careers started back in 2005, when sophomore Laura Boyer came over from Iowa State to win the job. Boyer started her first game with Marquette and never relinquished the job.
Natalie Kulla took over in 2008, starting for four complete years. Then in 2012, it was Amanda Engel’s turn.
