Coach McVean says: “Over the last two years, Mark has excelled in preparation, and has become a huge asset for us. Look for him to be a mainstay in our lineup and a player who our opponents lock on to. Not too many teams can defend him 1-on-1. Mark is a strong and skilled player with quick feet who our opponents have trouble guarding.”
