Hope Werch won BIG EAST Freshman of the Year in 2017 and is playing a prominent role in the 2018 offense.
Three years ago, the odds that sophomore outside hitter Hope Werch would attend Marquette University were not high.
“We recruited her for a long time,” Marquette head coach Ryan Theis said. “We thought she wasn’t going to say yes, so I told her to hurry up and make a decision or I was going to move on without her. … Hilariously enough, that got her to make a decision.”
As the reigning BIG EAST Freshman of the Year, the outside hitter has played a vital role in the team’s success.
