This past spring, recently hired head coach Chris Allen sat down with six of his players, and together, they laid out the foundations for a new era of Marquette women’s soccer.

A seventh player was added in the summer, and that group of Golden Eagles formed the team’s first-ever leadership council. The group meets with the coaching staff biweekly to discuss any general concerns that other members of the team might have.

“We have a saying in our program that in order to lead, you must first serve,” Allen said.
