Alexa Maletis is chasing soccer dreams she’s had since 4 years old. They brought her to Austria
Alexa Maletis’ morning routine is pretty standard.
The former Marquette women’s soccer defender wakes up around nine o’clock, makes her cup of coffee and reads some pages of the book she’s working through. Not long after, she packs her bag and begins her 20-minute walk to work.
Here’s where the standard ends.
Her work? Professional soccer. Where she does it? Few could pinpoint it on a map. Her walk? “Absolutely gorgeous.”

Just 10 days after backup quarterback Malik Willis was given a roster spot on the Green Bay Packers, he was thrown into the spotlight.
"It’s been pretty much around the clock since I got here," Willis said in the locker room after practice Wednesday. "That's the reality of this thing. You try to come in and be ready to go if you're called upon."

At the 2022 Big East Media Day, Tyler Kolek said “F— ’em” to the doubters that predicted the Golden Eagles to finish ninth in the Big East. This year, he didn’t have anything outlandish to say in front of the press because every analyst knows what the team is capable of.

The Green Bay Packers will play their first NFC North rival game of the season Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings.

Marquette women’s soccer draws Loyola Chicago with late goal
Confidence is difficult to conjure and easy to lose.
Marquette women’s soccer took a gut punch to its confidence only six minutes into its matchup against Loyola Chicago when the Ramblers found the back of the cage on a cross-field shot.
In that moment, simply put — no Marquette player was smiling.
“It’s tough,” Marquette head coach Chris Allen said. “Obviously, it’s been a tough couple weeks around Marquette and we were really wanting to get together, pour into each other and start on the front...

Women’s soccer grabs first Big East win over St. John’s, 3-1
Conference play has been defined by inches for Marquette women’s soccer.
If sophomore forward, Jocelyn Leigh’s hand is inches in any other direction during Saturday night’s game in Omaha, there’s no handball, Creighton doesn’t get a penalty kick, the game isn’t tied and Marquette wins 1-0. But no — another draw, which continued a winless streak that extended back to August and gave the Golden Eagles their second tie in a row.

Meredith Black’s ‘gold standard’ helped start women’s lacrosse program from scratch
Meredith Black was with the Marquette women’s lacrosse team before it could even be considered a team.
Before any names were on a roster, and long before there were any practices and games and wins and losses, Black was there.
She has been at the helm of the team for the lows of a 2-15 record in 2013 and the highs of a 15-4 2023 season in which they made their first NCAA tournament appearance.
But in the beginning, she said starting the program in 2012 was extremely challenging.
