"I'd like to thank Marco for his hard work and dedication during this time with the team," said Rosie Spaulding, LOVB Pro President. "We respect Marco's decision and wish him the very best as he focuses on his personal priorities. We will always consider him a part of the LOVB family."

Coach Bonitta added, "This was an extremely difficult decision, but after careful reflection, I have decided to step away to address personal matters that require my full attention.
