Steve Adlard enters his twelfth year as the Head Men's Soccer Coach at Marquette University and is coming off a season in which his team won the 2002 Conference USA regular season championship. During Adlard's tenure, MU has consistently received national recognition, highlighted by their 2000 season ranking of #7, the program's highest ever. In 1997 Marquette was crowned C-USA Champions. That same year the team went on to earn the first ever NCAA Tournament bid for soccer in the school's history. In 1993 Adlard was honored by his peers as the Great Lakes Region Coach of the year. Steve came to Marquette following four years as the Director of Soccer at the University of North Carolina-Asheville, making the Big South Tournament for the only four times in school history. Prior to UNC-Asheville, Adlard was the Head Coach at Davis & Elkins where he earned Mid-Atlantic Coach of the Year honors in 1986 and guided the team to the Div. II National Semifinals.

Marquette won the Conference USA tournament and received their first ever NCAA Tournament bid. In their last three season Roeders' squad has reinforced their place as one of the nation's elite with a repeat of both their C-USA Championship and NCAA Tournament appearance in 2000 and their fourth consecutive NCAA Tourney appearance in 2002. Roeders was named the C-USA Coach of the Year in 1996 and 2000. Markus is an ODP Region II staff coach.
