With 8 days left to go before the start of the 2017, the Big East announced the women’s soccer preseason awards and all-conference teams on Thursday. In Marquette-related news, redshirt junior forward Carrie Madden was named to the 13 player preseason All-Big East team, and the Golden Eagles were picked to finish third in the standings this season.
Madden is one of six forwards on the 13 player all-league team, which has extra players on it due to a tie in the voting somewhere. As a redshirt sophomore last season, she led Marquette with 17 points on six goals and five assists, all after playing in just one match in her first two seasons in Milwaukee.
