After a slow start to the season, men’s soccer captain Luka Prpa is leading Marquette to an accomplishment that hasn’t happened since 2014: a BIG EAST Championships appearance.
“Ever since I came in my freshman year, I knew we had the pieces to make it to the tournament,” Prpa said. “Unfortunately, it hasn’t panned out that way so far. … We’re something different with the togetherness that we have (this year). This is definitely the best team we’ve had since I’ve been here.”
Not long ago, the Golden Eagles found themselves sitting in eighth place, two spots outside of a playoff spot.
