WSOC Names Luke Stell Assistant Coach

Second-year head coach Chris Allen has announced the hiring of Luke Stell as an assistant coach with the Marquette University women’s soccer program.

Stell will assist with the day-to-day operations of the program, including video coordination, scouting, player development plans and performance analytics.

Stell served as a volunteer assistant coach with the women’s soccer program at Parkside in 2024. Prior to joining Parkside’s staff, Stell has spent time coaching at FC United Illinois, Chicago RUSH Soccer Club, Adlai Stevenson High School, Carroll University men’s soccer, and FC Wisconsin Nationals.

“We are very excited Luke is joining the Marquette soccer family,” Allen said. “Luke’s experience developing players and teams as a college assistant, club coach and high school coach will be incredibly beneficial for both players and coaches.

“Luke’s tireless work ethic, in conjunction with his passion for development through analytics, video breakdown, and scouting preparation will continue to drive our program forward,” Allen added. “We are pumped to have Luke as a part of the staff.”

The Plainfield, Illinois native, is a 2020 graduate of Trinity International University with a degree in Christian ministries, where he was a four-year letterwinner on the men’s soccer team. Playing on the back line, he scored four goals as a senior and was named NCCAA North-Central All-Region.

Jennifer Wandt, who joined the program in early January as an assistant coach, will now also serve as the team’s recruiting coordinator following the departure of Chelsea Davis, who left to become the head coach at Carthage College.

Wandt spent the 2024 campaign as an assistant at Indiana after working one season in 2023 at Illinois State.
