In his first season coaching at his alma mater in 2019, the Bison won 10 games and advanced to the Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) playoffs for the second time in three seasons. Three student-athletes – Brian McKinley, Hunter Ferreira, and Matt O’Connell – garnered all-conference honors.
A three-time Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) Academic All-Conference selection at Nichols, Martin graduated No. 1 in games played (67), No. 2 in points (183), No. 3 in goals (118) and shots (360), and No. 7 in assists (65) in program history. He led the team in points twice (2016, 2018) and led or tied for the team lead in goals three times, scoring a career-high 36 as a sophomore in 2016.
Martin was named to the CCC Third Team as a senior, when he tied for second in the CCC in assists (24) and placed sixth in points (56). As a result, he was invited to participate in the New England Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association (NEILA) East-West All-Star Game. Martin was also named to the NEILA Academic All-New England Team in 2018.
