“Bella is one of the best players in the greater Midwest region. She is multi-dimensional and is so dangerous getting to goal. Her championship pedigree will translate well after already winning a national title in the ECNL.”

The Marquette coaching staff expects him to contribute immediately at the next level.

Marquette head coach Louis Bennett on Nico Pendleton Nico Pendleton M MIll Valley | 2023 #94 Nation KS

Dream Realized

For many, Wednesday is the realization of a life-long dream. For a select few, it's a life-long dream that only had one destination. Jackson Herbert is one of those lucky few. He grew up as a fan of the Akron Zips. When he was eight years old, he was one of those youngsters selected to walk out to the field before kick-off. A decade later, Herbert signed with Akron. From lifelong fan to leading the next generation, Herbert is one of the best stories of the day on Wednesday.
