Bio

Ian Martin was the first UW-Oshkosh men’s soccer player to earn all-region status. He was an assistant coach on the school’s first team to appear in the NCAA Division III Championship. When he graduated, he held the school’s single-season and career records for goals and points scored. It’s safe to say that Martin helped put the Titans on the NCAA Division III soccer map.

During Martin’s career from 1987-90, UW-Oshkosh posted a 50-11-10 record. That mark includes a 15-1-2 ledger during 1988. Martin received NCAA Division III All-Mideast Region third team honors after tallying 14 goals, six assists and 34 points. UW-Oshkosh’s only defeat came in overtime, while the Titans outscored their opponents, 56-8, during the campaign.

The Oregon High School graduate also led the team in goals during 1989, even though he missed half the season with an injury. He collected All-WISA first team honors after compiling nine goals and one assist for 19 points. That squad achieved a 13-3-2 record, including a pair of four-match winning streaks.

The team captain in 1990, Martin guided UW-Oshkosh to an 11-2-4 record. He wrapped up his career by leading the Titans in goals and receiving All-WISA first team mention for the third consecutive year. Martin delivered totals of 12 goals and six assists for 30 points. Those numbers upped his personal figures to 40 goals, the fifth highest total in school history, and 97 points, the sixth best mark in UW-Oshkosh annals.

Martin’s freshman season of 1987 saw the Titans post an 11-5-2 record, with Martin notching the game-winning goal in three of those contests. He posted five goals, four assists and 14 points on the year.

UW-Oshkosh achieved great success during Martin’s final three seasons, but it was the 1991 squad that finally received a berth into the NCAA Division III postseason tournament. With Martin on the staff as an assistant coach, the Titans finished 14-2-3 and won their opening-round match. A double-overtime tie led to a shootout loss to the eventual national champion (University of California, San Diego) as UW-Oshkosh’s run came to an end in the round of 16.

Martin is currently the executive vice president for U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, where he leads a team of investment management firms. He began working with U.S. Bank in 1994. The 1992 UW-Oshkosh graduate has been officiating soccer matches in collegiate conferences such as the Big Ten for the past 12 years.

He lives in Menomonee Falls with his wife, Holly, and children, Aidian and London.
