Cori Martone returned to her alma mater as the assistant coach for beach volleyball in August of 2018.

Before returning to Tulane, Martone worked as a Benefits Coordinator at Holmes Murphy & Associates, while also serving as the U-11 Texas Stars Volleyball Club head coach in Dallas.

Martone will forever be linked with the history of the beach volleyball program, as she competed during the team’s inaugural season in 2011-12 and secured a point at the No. 1 Flight when Tulane earned its first victory in program history on March 14, 2012. With Martone as a leading player in the team’s second varsity season, the Green Wave earned their first victory over a nationally-ranked team and received their first-ever national ranking, with a No. 9 spot in the AVCA poll.

Martone was also a four-year letterwinner on the indoor volleyball team during her time at Tulane, earning All-Conference USA First Team Honors, AVCA All-Region and All-American Honors while also being named to the All-Louisiana First Team during her senior season in 2013. The middle hitter played a large role in Tulane volleyball’s success that year, with the team finishing 28-4 overall and 12-2 in Conference USA with a second-place finish.

Martone ranks ninth in the all-time indoor volleyball record book in kills with 1375 and kills per set with 3.27. The local Baton Rouge, Louisiana native also ranks ninth in career attack attempts (3449), tenth in service attempts (1479) and 11^th in points (1610.0). Martone described her first moment stepping back on campus as surreal, as she is eager to be back close to home and to Tulane.
