Few parents have the opportunity to follow their child to college, but junior setter Lauren Speckman’s parents did just that.
“I’m an only child,” Speckman said. “I have a lot of family out here in the Midwest and on the east coast, and my parents actually moved out here.”
With her parents in the area every step of the way, the San Jose, California, native has been a catalyst for the Marquette women’s volleyball the past two seasons.
It only takes one word for head coach Ryan Theis to describe Speckman’s game: dynamic.
Speckman is a proactive leader, regularly stopping in to Theis’ office to discuss game strategy, places for the team to improve and issues of any kind.
