UNK posted a combined record of 96-12 with a 54-2 conference mark during Marquis[apos]s time with the program and the Lopers ended the 2010 season ranked No. 5 nationally.
During her undergraduate career, Marquis played her final two seasons at Albany following two junior college seasons at Butte College. At Albany, Marquis helped the Danes to a 43-23 record during her junior and senior seasons with two America East Championships and two NCAA Tournament appearances. At Butte College, she hit .319 and averaged 2.44 kills per game as a sophomore and helped the Roadrunners to back-to-back conference championships.
