Volleyball

The men's volleyball program at MUHS continues the school's tradition of excellence. Since its inception in 1996, the team has reached the pinnacle of competition both locally and on a national level. The team's first state championship was won in 1998, led by the infamous combo of Pat Bomhack (Setter) and Will Hand (Opposite). This team was undefeated in 98 and lost only 2 matches over a 3 year span. Of particular interest, the volleyball championship was the school's first WIAA title. Since winning back to back championships in 98 and 99, the team has seldom been ranked lower than 4th in the state and continues to produce college-bound players. Long-time head coach Larry Sorensen has recently stepped down after 9 years and five state championships, winning again in 2002 and back to back once more in 2004 and 2005. The team is now coached by former Ball State standout, Eric Sullivan. Marquette's volleyball team won state in 2007.

Soccer

The Men's soccer program has the richest history of all of MUHS sports. The program commenced as a vision of former US Men's National team coach and current coach of the Kansas City Wizards of the MLS, Bob Gansler. Gansler then handed the program over to the legendary Bob Spielmann. Spielmann coached MUHS for 27 years and compiled a record of 532-73-40 with a winning percentage of .856. He won 20 state championships and tied a national record of 10 straight state championships from 1994-2003. The Hilltoppers were ranked #1 in the country by the NSCAA in 1999 and in 2003 lead by captains Matt King and Troy Spielmann and leading scorers Joe and Mike Klein, respectively. In 1996 he was selected as the National High School coach of the year. In 2005, Bob Spielmann accepted the associate head coaching job at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Throughout Spielmann's reign he helped numerous players play at the division 1, 2, and 3 levels in the NCAA and many went on to play professionally. Mike Huwhiler coached the JV team for many years after playing for Bruce Arena at the University of Virginia and the DC United of the MLS. Former captain Andrew Daniels was drafted by FC Dallas in the second round of the 2007 MLS Superdraft after starring at Brown University for four years. After Spielmann, the team was handed down to former MUHS legend Steve "Larry" Lawrence. Lawrence played for the Milwaukee Wave United after playing at Marquette University and was named Conference USA Defensive MVP. The Hilltoppers home field, Quad/Park, was donated by former MUHS graduate Harry Quadracci in 1998. It is one of the finest high school soccer complexes in the country.
