Cory Marr is in his sixth year on the coaching staff of DBU Women’s Soccer and his first season as Associate Head Coach after three seasons as an assistant coach and one as a graduate assistant in 2021. Since arriving at DBU, Marr has played a key role in helping guide the Patriots to five consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances, highlighted by the program’s historic run to the Final Four in 2021, a South Central Regional Final berth in 2022, and an appearance in the National Quarterfinals in 2025.
During his four seasons as assistant coach, Marr has helped lead DBU to a trio of Lone Star Conference Regular Season Championships and three LSC Tournament Championships while compiling an impressive 67-8-8 record. Under his guidance, the Patriots have finished each season nationally ranked in the United Soccer Coaches Poll, headlined by a No. 5 ranking following the 2025 season. Marr has also mentored nine All-Americans and three LSC Players of the Year, including 2025 award-winner Parker Coe and two-time recipient Taylor Tufts.
Before returning to his alma mater, Marr gained valuable coaching experience at UT San Antonio, where he served two seasons as a volunteer assistant coach for the Roadrunners while also working with Solar Soccer Club, one of the premier youth clubs in North Texas. He began his coaching career at Permian High School in Odessa, Texas, where he was responsible for planning and running training sessions with a focus on the backline.
A 2018 graduate of DBU, Marr earned a Bachelor of Business Administration in Management with a minor in Sport Management. As a member of the Patriots’ men’s soccer team, he not only competed on the field but also invested in ministry, helping launch the International Soccer Ministry to connect international students through the game of soccer and leading a weekly Fellowship of Christian Athletes Bible study.
