Midfielder Connor Alba is a key cog for Marquette. He scored four goals and two assists last season.
Men’s soccer head coach Louis Bennett knows how valuable his midfield is.
“You can definitely see, as a coaching staff, what we’ve tried to do and whom we’ve tried to bring in,” Bennett said. “There’s a quiet confidence, and I mean, we are going to be very silent and not say too much and let our performance speak for itself.”
If the Golden Eagles are going to get to the BIG EAST Tournament for the first time since 2014, the midfield will have to play a major role in leading them there.
