Two Wisconsin natives find their way back home to play for Marquette
Kayl Petersen and Noelle Anthon each took different paths to end up back in their home state with the Marquette Golden Eagles.
Cara Consuegra, head coach of Marquette women's basketball, aimed to add Wisconsin players to her roster in the 2026-27 season. Kayl Petersen and Noelle Anthon, each with unique backgrounds, joined Marquette to play for Consuegra. Petersen, a 6-foot-1 guard from Waupun, originally committed to Marquette in 2022 and transferred from Virginia Tech when Consuegra became the head coach.
Anthon, a 6-foot-2 post player from Oconomowoc, attended Hutchinson Community College before transferring to Marquette. Both players emphasized the importance of being close to home and being part of a supportive team.
