His Ambush clubs from '93 through 1998 were among the most dominant in the game's recent history, recording a regular season record of 154-86 (.642) and a postseason mark of 33-23 (.589). Along the way, the Ambush earned five division titles and four conference championships. The 1994-95 club won the NPSL Championship, and Doran was recognized as Coach of the Year.
