Andrew Storton is entering his seventh season as an associate men's soccer coach at Connecticut College in 2025. He assists head coach Reuben Burk with all aspects of the program.
Storton was an integral part of the most successful season in school history, as the Camels went 19-4-1 and captured the 2021 NCAA Division III Men's Soccer National Championship. After securing an overtime victory against Washington & Lee in the semifinals, Conn College prevailed over Amherst in penalty kicks in the title game. It marked the institution's first team national championship in any sport.
In addition to their NCAA success, the Camels finished atop the NESCAC regular season standings, hosted the league's championship weekend for the first time, and advanced to the championship match of the NESCAC Tournament for the first time in program history. The team's 19 victories were also a school record and bettered the previous mark of 14 established in 1978. For their efforts, Burk and Storton were named the 2021 NCAA Men's Division III National Coaching Staff of the Year by the United Soccer Coaches.
In his first season at Conn, Storton helped lead the program to a successful postseason run that included wins over Catholic, then-No. 3 Johns Hopkins, and Swarthmore. At the time, the “Elite Eight” appearance marked only the third time a Connecticut College program had advanced to the quarterfinal round of an NCAA Tournament in any sport.
A native of Oxford, England, Storton has a wealth of coaching experience and has been heavily involved with coaching soccer at various levels in Southeast Connecticut since his arrival in the country in 2009. On the scholastic level, he served as the head boys soccer coach at Bacon Academy in Colchester and led the program to a 100-30-13 overall ledger in seven seasons from 2012-18. Storton was named the ECC Large Division Coach of the Year three times, the Norwich Bulletin Coach of the Year twice, and helped the team win four ECC Division championships, an ECC tournament title, while also advancing to the finals of the Class M State Cup on two occasions during his successful tenure. Furthermore, he has been a head coach with the Southeast Soccer Club since 2011, as well as the Director of Operations for Connecticut Coast Soccer since 2012.
Storton was also a three-year letterwinner with the Mitchell College men's soccer program, scoring 22 goals in 42 career matches. A two-time New England Collegiate Conference All-Academic Team honoree, he helped lead the Mariners to their first men's soccer conference championship and NCAA Division III Tournament appearance by tallying a single-season school record 11 goals during his final year on the pitch in 2017.
Storton graduated magna cum laude in three years from Mitchell College in 2017 with a bachelor's degree in sports and fitness management and a minor in psychology. He holds a UEFA "B" License along with several other coaching licenses and resides in Niantic with his wife, Hannah, and sons, Oliver and William.
