Head Coach Louis Bennett 14th Year | Yorkshire, England | Crewe & Alsager College ‘82 The 2019 season marks the 14th for Louis Bennett as head men’s soccer coach at Marquette University and his 24th head coaching season overall.

Bennett boasts a long history of success, leading Milwaukee (1996-2005) and Marquette (2006-present) to a combined seven league championships, six league tournament titles and seven NCAA tournament appearances - advancing past the first round on five occa- sions, including a Sweet 16 appearance with the Golden Eagles in 2013.

Through the 2018 season, Bennett has a career record of 218-181-3 over 23 seasons, including an 83-117-36 mark in 13 seasons with Marquette. His 135 career victories at Milwaukee are the most in school history, while he currently ranks third in Marquette laurels. He has earned six League Coach of the Year honors, including five with Milwaukee and most recently in 2011 at Marquette.

In the team’s most recent season in 2018, Bennett led MU to a BIG EAST tournament runner-up finish as the Golden Eagles fell one game short of clinching the conference’s automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament. MU made a thrilling postseason push, defeating both Xavier (quarterfinals) and No. 17 Creighton (semifinals) in PK’s before falling in the championship to No. 19 Georgetown.

For the first time in program history, Bennett had four players garner first or second team all-conference honors last year. Senior goalkeeper Luis Barraza joined junior midfielder Luka Prpa and junior defender Patrick Seagrist on the All-BIG EAST first team while junior forward Connor Alba earned second team honors. First-year forward Lukas Sunesson, who hails from Taby, Sweden, became Bennett’s 10th player in team history to be named to the BIG EAST All-Freshman team.

Luis Barraza was named the BIG EAST Goalkeeper of the Year in 2018 after a season that saw him finish the season ranked in the nation’s top-10 in save percentage (.830) and saves per game (5.20).

A native of Great Britain, Bennett has over 30 years of experience as a player and coach. He played collegiate soccer at Crewe & Alsager College in England, helping win the British Colleges National Championship in 1982. He was also honored as a Great Britain Colleges International Player for three years. Bennett played profession- al soccer for seven years in the U.S., including three seasons with the Milwaukee Wave of the NPSL (1985-87) and he has made “The Good City” his home ever since.
