MILWAUKEE – Former Marquette men’s soccer defender Danny Jarosz (’18) has been tabbed as a new assistant coach with the team. He replaces another MU alumnus, Bryan Ciesiulka (’13), who served as an assistant coach on head coach Louis Bennett‘s staff from 2018-20.

The 2020 coaching staff is now complete as he joins Bennett, fifth-year assistant Sean Hughes and volunteer assistant/goalkeepers coach Graham Shaw.

“I couldn’t be more excited to have the opportunity to join the Marquette coaching staff,” Jarosz said. “I had such a fantastic experience as a student-athlete at MU and my coaching staff and support staff played a big role in that. I’d like to thank Bill Scholl and Louis Bennett for the opportunity to come back to Marquette and help guide the development of our student-athletes.”

Jarosz redshirted in 2014 before playing and starting in 13 games over the next two seasons for MU, logging over 1,200 minutes on the back line before suffering an injury that ended his playing career. As a senior, he served as a student assistant coach for the team.

During his time on the coaching staff, he helped develop four all-conference players, including the 2018 Conference Freshmen of the Year.

“We’re thrilled to have Danny back in the fold as a full-time assistant coach,” Coach Bennett said. “He was successful as a player here and added a ton of value as a student assistant coach during his final year at MU. I know he’s excited to hit the ground running and represent Marquette men’s soccer with pride.”

In high school, Jarosz helped lead Marquette University High School to a 62-3-5 overall record, including two WIAA Division 1 state titles He was honored as 2013 Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Area Player of the Year.
