A five-time CAA and four-time Virginia Division I Coach of the Year, Martin led the Dukes to the NCAA Tournament Quarterfinals twice (1994 and 1995), as the team’s 1995 performance earned him Soccer News South Atlantic Region Coach of the Year honors. His teams won three straight Colonial Athletic Association tournaments and set a CAA record with a 32-game unbeaten streak that spanned four seasons (1992-95).
