It might not have been the home debut he was hoping for, but first-year head coach Chris Allen was still grateful.

Despite drawing with Kansas City 1-1 Sunday afternoon, the Marquette women’s soccer team was showered with cheers and support from the Marquette faithful.

“The Marquette community and the way that they wrap people up, I’ve never experienced anything like it,” Allen said in a postgame interview Sunday. “It’s pretty cool.”

Before the game, Marquette paid tribute to former president Michael Lovell who passed away after a three-year battle with Sarcoma in June.
