Our long national nightmare came to an end on Christmas Eve morning, as Marquette announced Frank Pelaez as the fourth head coach in women’s soccer history. Pelaez replaces Markus Roeders, who resigned on November 6th, 2019.
Pelaez is no stranger to Marquette. He was brought in as an assistant coach by Roeders when he was promoted to head coach for the 1996 season, and Pelaez stayed on staff through the 2014 season. During his 19 years on the Marquette sideline, including 13 as associate head coach, the Golden Eagles compiled a record of 282-104-39.
