During their practice, Marcia thought of Eiichiro as a machine who was able to return every ball. Later, when he said that he was aiming for high school level nationals only, she called him a small man. She helped Eiichiro adjust to the Academy later on, but still refused to accept him as a good player, until Eiichiro defeated her brother.

When Eiichiro is back in America, it is hinted that she might have started to have an affection for him as she is blushing when she talks to him or when she watches him play. She also invites him to do things with her more often than before [1][2].
