    Marginean was the top scorer for Romania in Poitiers and has been the face of Romanian women's 3x3 from Day One. She was the leading scorer at the first edition of the FIBA 3x3 Europe Cup, back in 2014. 

    Both her and Sonia Ursu were on the team that won silver at the FIBA 3x3 Europe Cuop 2016, the last time Romania won an international medal in 3x3.
