Marquette men’s soccer first-year defender, Jonas Moen would cross seas to play the game he loves: and he quite literally did.
The young lad on head coach Louis Bennett’s squad crossed the Atlantic Ocean, a sum of 3,986 miles, to play under the lights of Valley Fields. Moen, who hails from Skedsmokorset, Norway, has been captivated by soccer since a young age.
“I remember going to my older brother’s practices when I was about five or six years old and playing with a few of the older kids,” Moen said. “Ever since then, soccer has been a part of my life, from playing every day at school to playing with my friends at home.
