"Jillian has been an attacking mid-fielder for four years," Coach Hoener said. "She has been a captain this past year and done a fantastic job. She can score from a distance and she captures a lot of soccer balls in the air. She is a force in the middle of the field. Over the past four years, she has been a leading goal scorer and a key contributor to our success."
Nelson will play soccer at Concordia University this fall.
Lydia Randazzo is a defensive midfielder.
"[Lydia] does a lot of things to link the backfield to midfield," Coach Hoener said. "She does a lot of things overall right. She is one of those players you have to have on your team if you are going to win soccer games. She helps set up a lot of what takes place on the field for Marquette and is one of our key leaders."
