Skidmore College Athletics Hall of Fame
Dana Martin '05 is one of the most prolific scorers and influential players in the history of Men's Basketball. The 2005 Liberty League Player of the Year captained the Thoroughbreds to a 16-10 record and the Liberty League Tournament Championship that year. Martin was selected Liberty League Guard of the Week four times and ECAC Upstate New York Player of the Week twice during the 2004-2005 season. His astounding roster of honors also includes two-time Eastern Collegiate Athletic Association Player of the Week (2004, 2005), Liberty League All-Star (2004, 2005), ECAC All-Star (2005), and NCAC Division III Basketball First Team All-New York (2005).
Team scoring leader all four years, he averaged 22.7 points per game in league play for 1500 career points, placing him third on Skidmore's all-time list. (In 2005, he broke a school record by sinking eight 3-pointers in a 77-75 win over Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.) Martin finished his career as top Liberty League scorer and ranked 20th nationally (12th among guards).
As a professional player, he led the Vermont Frost Heaves to an American Basketball Association Championship title and played on the league's traveling team in Germany and Austria.
