“I enjoy the feeling of scoring a goal or setting someone else up to score,” Boulch said. “I love the feeling I get when I’m playing, and I love running and having the ball at my feet.”

Boulch credits his family and friends for the success he’s had in soccer.

“I would like to thank all of my family and friends, who have always pushed me to do better, and help me achieve my goals,” Boulch said.

He feels that being involved in soccer and high school sports have helped Boulch develop into the person he has become by getting to know new people, learning how to play with them and become friends with others.

Boulch exclusively plays soccer for Marquette, and hasn’t yet decided where he’ll be going to college, but hopes to continue playing soccer. He plans on majoring in exercise science.
