Following the 2014-15 regular season, Marzolino was also tabbed as the WHAC’s Coach of Character for displaying the NAIA’s five core values of respect, responsibility, servant leadership, integrity, and sportsmanship after a vote of his fellow coaches.  At Madonna, Michelle Hall became the schools' first WHAC individual champion under Marzolino’s coaching, winning the crown twice (2010, 2011-12) before freshman Karen Zambrano earned WHAC Newcomer of the Year honors under Marzolino's guidance in 2015-16.
