COACH MORETT ON MARVEL: 'Bethany has played all over the field for us ever since she got here. She started out in the back, moved into the midfield line, and then we actually played her on the forward line a little bit last year. We really feel that Bethany is going to be the girl who takes the ball to the circle for us and creates more of our scoring opportunities throughout the year. She has tremendous, quick stick skills and can get a shot off from the forehand or the backhand side.'
