2023: Martin turned in a stellar freshman campaign in the outfield. She cemented herself in the starting lineup midway through February, making 40 starts and 47 appearances en route to hitting .330. She collected eight multi-hit efforts, including a three-hit day against Catawba (March 11).  She had her lone multi-RBI contest against Northern State (Feb. 24).  Martin roped five doubles on the year and hit an inside-the-park home run against Emory & Henry (April 15).  She produced a career-long six-game hitting and reached-base streak from March 11-18.  From March 11-16 against Catawba and UVA Wise she tallied four consecutive multi-hit efforts.  With a dangerous arm, Martin threw out six runners at he plate, tied with teammate SieAnna Cameron for the highest total in the South Atlantic Conference.
