Former Loyola University Chicago associate head coach Frank Pelaez has been named the fourth head coach of the Marquette women’s soccer program, athletic director Bill Scholl announced Tuesday morning.
The announcement comes after former head coach Markus Roeders stepped down on Nov. 6. After 24 years at the helm of the program, Roeders was the longest-tenured coach in program history and posted an overall record of 325-148-51.
“I am thrilled to be able to welcome Frank back to the Marquette family,” Scholl said in the statement. “He is one of the best coaches and recruiters in the country and I am particularly happy that our current and future women’s soccer student-athletes will have the opportunity to play for him.
