"I am incredibly honored and excited to be promoted to Assistant Coach of Connecticut College Men's Soccer," said Elliott. "I would like to sincerely thank head coach Reuben Burk for believing in me and providing me with this opportunity. His trust and confidence mean a great deal and I am eager to begin fully working alongside him, the staff, and the student-athletes."

Lee has been a big part of our success and has gained valuable experience going to three NESCAC Finals, one National Championship Final, and winning the 2024 NESCAC Championship.As our goalkeeper coach, he took goalkeeper Peter Silvester '25 under his wing and helped Peter earn the 2024 NCAA Final Four Defensive MVP Award. My friendship with Lee has grown so much over the four years because of his demonstrated loyalty, care, passion, and growth mindset. I'm very excited for Lee to step-up and gain valuable experience recruiting, scouting, and leading the team!"
