It’s been just over three months since Tom Mendoza was hired as the sixth head coach in Marquette women’s volleyball history, and he’s still not done adding to the roster quite yet. Last Wednesday, the program announced the additions of transfers Allie Korba and Julia Stanev. Korba, a 5-foot-9 setter from Arlington Heights, Illinois, was the 2024 Mid-American Conference Setter of the Year at Central Michigan University after posting 1,137 assists over 126 sets in 2024.

The first year of the Jake Richard era has come to an end. No. 4 Marquette men’s lacrosse (7-7) fell 19-8 to top-seeded Georgetown (10-4) Thursday night in the semifinals of the Big East Tournament in Denver. The Golden Eagles got out to a hot start after senior attacker Conor McCabe and sophomore midfielder Beau Westphal netted two of the games’ first three goals to put Marquette on top 2-1 with 8:15 to play in the first quarter.

With the program in sort of a limbo, it was unclear what to expect from MU heading into 2025.

There was an unusually loud roar from the Fiserv Forum crowd when No. 13 scored his first points of the night two weeks ago during the Knicks at Bucks game in Milwaukee. And no, it wasn’t Ryan Rollins in the black and white No. 13 from the home team that caused the noise, it was somebody else. Somebody who has quite the history in the home arena of the Bucks. That somebody was former Marquette All-American Tyler Kolek.
