Frank Fedorjaka on Marks: "Nick has gotten much quicker since last year after getting over the ankle injury, so he is back to the form of his sophomore year athletically. He has become a smarter player through the years and has improved his stick skills and the accuracy of his shot. He is very physical and has become a real strong bull dodger, which is a lost art. Not many people notice that he is also a tremendous defender."
