It's hard not to be impressed by Marina Carpenter, a former Sun Devil volleyball student-athlete from 2005 to 2009. Known as Marina Mercer during her playing days (she married former Sun Devil quarterback Rudy Carpenter in 2017), she's achieved a tremendous amount of success in a traditionally male-dominated industry at a young age, using life lessons she learned during her career at Arizona State to make herself an indispensable member of the Arizona Coyotes.
