2007: Michael Greene built on a solid first-year in the program and only improved as a sophomore. Greene started eight games at forward for the Golden Eagles, and saw action in all but one game. Despite a season which saw somewhat of an offensive drought with a team average of 0.62 goals per game and 12 goals in 18 games, Greene provided two assists in a win against Cincinnati (Sept. 30) and a 1-1 draw versus UW-Milwaukee (Oct. 31). In the Cincinnati game, Greene sent a beautiful through ball from the top of the box where Nick Kay finished it off just inside the far post for the game's first goal. A forward with a quick and dangerous shot, he took 12 total shots and recorded a .250 shots on goal percentage. 2006: Greene was a late arrival at Marquette as he was ineligible at season's beginning due to some questions about his schooling in Liberia. Once squared away, Greene quickly joined the team and became an immediate force in the lineup. He arrived on campus after the start of the semester and missed all of the pre-season workouts. He jumped into the lineup just days after his first practice, making his collegiate debut against DePaul (Sept. 8). He made his first collegiate start one match later against USF (Sept. 10). He provided a boost of speed, making him a difficult mark for opposing defenders. Greene had a busy freshman year at Marquette, also competing on the track and field team. Greene, as the lone Liberian on MU's campus, had the opportunity to escort Liberian president Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf in her visit to the school. Prior to Marquette: Greene was an All-Conference selection and league MVP. He was a two-time All-State and All-Conference selection and was named his league's Rookie of the Year. He was also a goal scorer in the state section semifinal game, leading his team to a sectional runner-up spot. He also plays club for Wings Soccer Club. Prior to coming to the United States, Greene spent most of his life in Liberia, where his love for soccer began. He has also lived in Ghana. Personal: Greene was born December 18, 1985, and is the son of George Greene and Catherine Hill. His major is undecided. Greene's Career Stats
