The transient nature of the men’s soccer roster of the past few years means Marquette is in the same position this spring as it was last, working plenty of new pieces into major roles on the team.
Jan Maertins, Toby Howell, Ben Tweedie, Anton von Hoffacker and Kees Westra left the program, while Nick Parianos opted to forgo his final year of eligibility to start his post-collegiate life.
That means there are seven newcomers for the Golden Eagles, increasing the importance of the spring season to work out the kinks before next fall.
“We knew the spring would be a discovery,” head coach Louis Bennett said.
