Jay Martin became the first men’s soccer coach in NCAA history to win 700 games when the Battling Bishops defeated Oberlin on Sept. 22. His players surprised him with shirts commemorating his milestone, which fittingly occurred at Jay Martin Soccer Complex. Said Martin: “It’s always nice to say that you’ve done something that no one else has done, but we’ve had great players here over the last 40 years, and that’s how we’ve won 700 games — good players.” Forward Ben Sobotka ’21 scored the game’s only goal. “With all due respect to Oberlin, we should have scored more goals,” Martin said. The men’s team finished the season 13-4-2, including 6-1-2 in conference play. (Photos by Paul Vernon)
