Martha Whiting recently finished her 13th season as the head coach of the Tufts University Women's Soccer program. The Jumbos are well established in New England and on the national level under her leadership.

Whiting has directed the Jumbos to four NCAA Tournament appearances, including the 2000 and 2005 seasons in which they won New England championships and advanced to the "final four." Tufts hosted the NCAA "final four" on Kraft Field in 2000, and the Jumbos lost to College of New Jersey on a last-second goal in the championship game. Whiting was named NSCAA Division III National Coach of the Year that season. That team won a school-record 18 games, which is followed by the 2005 team's 15 wins in the record book. The Jumbos have a 9-3-3 record overall in NCAA play under Whiting's guidance.

During Whiting's tenure, her teams have compiled a 132-58-23 total record for a .674 winning percentage. Her teams have never finished with a losing record. The Jumbos are a regular among the top four teams in the competitive New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC). The 2011 season marked the eighth straight year that the squad earned a top-four finish during the regular-season. Tufts has never missed qualifying for the NESCAC Championship tournament during its 12-year existence. Coach Whiting was selected by her peers as NESCAC's Coach of the Year in 2010, 2005 and 2002.

A 1993 Tufts graduate, Whiting played four seasons as an all-star goalkeeper for the Jumbos. She was the team's MVP three times and still holds the program's records for career saves and fewest goals allowed in a season. After graduation, she worked for six seasons as an assistant coach under Bill Gehling. She was promoted to head coach when Gehling was named Athletic Director at Tufts in July 1999. Whiting has National and Advanced Diplomas from the NSCAA.

Whiting is also the NCAA compliance coordinator for the Athletic Department.
