Coach Nick Wanyo's quote: "Nick Marshall is just an all-around hard worker, a great teammate, a fantastic worker and a great student-athlete. He takes everything in. At halftime of our championship game, the first half he wasn't doing well, and he took what I said, adjusted and scored the game winner for us. That's the pinnacle of what I want the program to become."
