BROOKFIELD, Wis. - Over 130 friends, family and loyal supporters participated in the second annual Marquette Soccer Caddyshack Classic presented by KBS Contruction at Westmoor Country Club Monday. All proceeds generated from the event benefited the men and women's soccer programs.
"It was a fantastic day of golf and a great way to kickoff the 2007 Marquette Soccer season," said head women's soccer coach Markus Roeders. "We couldn't be more pleased to have had so many of our former players, parents, loyal supporters and sponsors on hand to socialize and get excited about the future of our programs. There are so many positive things happening around both programs, this event definitely added another spark."
"What a magnificent event," agreed head men's soccer coach Louis Bennett. "It was so encouraging to see so many people showing support for the Marquette soccer program."
In its second year, the 130 golfers who participated more than doubled the total from the 2006 outing. Both head coaches, along with their coaching staffs and current players joined the attendees for a beautiful day of golf and Marquette soccer.
Added to the buzz surrounding the event were the plans for a state-of-the-art soccer stadium to be built at Valley Fields, the current home of Marquette Soccer. The proposed stadium project is to be completed by the fall of 2008.
"At a time when we are tying to build and create one of the best environments in the country for our student-athletes, it is great to know we are gaining support. It was evident by the amount of people who were in attendance Monday," said Bennett.
"With the men's and women's seasons only a few weeks away, the future is very bright for the upcoming year and beyond," added Roeders. "We had a chance to give all attendees more insight on our proposed soccer stadium project and the momentum keeps building to make it a reality by the fall of 2008."
The 2008 Marquette Soccer Caddyshack Classic will be held July 28, 2008, at Westmoor Country Club.
