"To win back-to-back, it's really difficult to do," Marquette coach Marty Paulsen told MHSAA.com. "There was huge pressure. I preferred being the underdog. Coming in last year we were a little bit of an underdog. It wasn't spotless. We've been getting perfect scores, but they held together in slalom, skied like a team and they won as a team."
The Marquette girls skiing team finished in fourth place at Monday's state finals.
