Marty Sertich ’06 came to Colorado College in the fall of 2002 with some lofty expectations, and those were just from his family. The son of former CC great Steve Sertich ’74 and grandson of both Hall of Famer Tony Frasca ’76 and Mark Sertich, for whom the city of Colorado Springs ice rink in Memorial Park is named, Marty met and exceeded all those expectations and put together one of the most impressive careers of any Tiger.

Sertich was one of five individuals inducted into the Colorado College Athletic Hall of Fame on June 1 at the Colorado Springs Marriott. Melanie Auguste ’09 (women’s basketball), Patrick McGinnis ’05 (men’s soccer), Horst Richardson P’92, P’95 (men’s soccer coach) and Dick Schulte ’75 (men’s soccer) also were enshrined as the Class of 2019.

In addition to the five inductees, Edward J. Robson ’54, P ’79 (hockey) was honored as the inaugural recipient of the Tiger Medal, presented to an individual or organization who has made extraordinary contributions in support of Colorado College Athletics. The award exemplifies the values of a liberal arts education while recognizing outstanding service, commitment, and accomplishment at the community, national, or global level.

Sertich is one of only two CC hockey players to win the Hobey Baker Memorial Award as National Player of the Year, earning it in 2005. That season, he led the nation in scoring with 64 points (27g,37a) and was named a first-team All-American, as well as the WCHA Player of the Year and USA Hockey’s College Player of the Year. Sertich, who led the Tigers to the national semifinals in 2005, is 12th on CC’s career scoring list with 182 points (61g,121a) and seventh in career assists.

Auguste won the 2009 Jostens Trophy, which honors one male and one female Division III basketball player each season who excels in the classroom, on the court, and in the community. In addition, she was named an All-American, a CoSIDA Academic All-American, and the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference (SCAC) Player of the Year in 2009. Auguste still holds the SCAC records  for single-season assists (192) and career average of 7.22 assists per game. She also ranks in the top five on CC’s career lists for assists (first), steals (first), points (third), three-pointers made (fourth) and rebounds (fifth).

McGinnis was named the National Soccer Coaches Association Division III Player of the Year in 2004, when he led the nation with 39 goals, which ranks No. 6 in the history of the NCAA (all divisions) and No. 3 in Division III for most goals in one season. His 39 goals and 86 points that year still stand as school records for a single season. McGinnis earned All-America and CoSIDA Academic All-America honors in 2004.

Richardson was associated with the men’s soccer program at CC for 50 years, one season as an assistant coach and 49 as head coach. He posted a 567-304-71 record, which ranked third nationally in career victories among active Division III men’s soccer coaches and sixth among coaches from all three NCAA Divisions at the time of his retirement following the 2014 season. Richardson, who taught in the college’s German Department from 1965-2006, led the Tigers to 19 NCAA tournament bids and the national semifinals in 1992 with an overall record of 18-2-2. The Tigers also won seven conference championships in the Rocky Mountain Intercollegiate Soccer League under his direction.

Schulte, who was selected by the veteran’s committee, was a four-year letter-winner and three-time first-team all-RMISL selection on the men’s soccer team. He also earned all-region honors twice and led the Tigers to the 1974 RMISL title. Schulte is tied for 18th on the school’s career list with 29 goals and was invited to try out for the U.S. Men’s Olympic Soccer Team prior to the 1976 summer games. He is the namesake of the Dick Schulte Midfielder of the Year award for the men’s soccer team.   

Robson, who graduated from CC in 1954 and received an honorary degree from the college in 2014, has donated more than $10 million toward the construction of the Edward J. Robson Arena, a new multi-purpose facility that will permanently house the Tiger Hockey program. He scored 77 points in three years with the hockey team at Colorado College.
