Having two Marquette alumni as parents, and one as a college basketball player, sports and Marquette were always part of sophomore Caroline Dragani’s life. Dragani grew up in Brookfield, only a 20-minute drive from Marquette. Being so close to the city of Milwaukee was another reason why Marquette was a big part of Dragani’s life.
Both her parents, Patrick and Stephanie Dragani, graduated from Marquette.
Her father graduated in 1994, while her mother graduated in 1993. Her mother also played on the women’s basketball team from 1991-93.
Dragani thought it was really special to play for the college her parents had gone to, especially since she grew up as a Marquette fan.
