Colorado College Names Martin, Nogic Assistant Coaches

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Peter Martin, a former standout at Drew University, and Dominic Nogic, one of the top goaltenders ever at the United States Military Academy, have been named assistant coaches for the Colorado College men’s lacrosse team.

“I’m excited to announce Peter Martin and Dom Nogic as assistant coaches for the Tigers,” CC head coach David Zazzaro said. “Both of them will make enormous contributions to the development, growth and success of our players and program. They both have a special blend of experiences, contacts, and expertise which will make an immeasurable impact.”

Martin will serve as team’s defensive coordinator, while Dom will serve as a volunteer goalie coach.

Martin played two seasons with the Tri-State Men’s Lacrosse Club in the American Lacrosse League and most recently played and coached for the Wannero Chiefs in Perth, Western Australia, and helped lead his team to the league championship.

He graduated from Drew in 2004 with a bachelor’s degree in anthropology and earned his master’s in education-social studies from The College of New Jersey. He earned all-academic honors from the Middle Atlantic Conference and was the Rangers’ MVP.

Nogic was a three-year starter for the Cadets and finished his career ranked fourth all-time in saves. He graduated from the academy in with a bachelor’s degree in engineering and was named to the Patriot League Honor Roll four times (1999-2002).
