KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The Connecticut College men's soccer staff—which includes head coach Reuben Burk, assistant coach Andrew Storton and goalkeeper coach Lee Elliott—was named the 2024 Division III National Coaching Staff of the Year by the United Soccer Coaches on Friday.

The association announced all of the 2024 National Staff and Coach of the Year recipients for senior and junior college, high school, and youth/club soccer. All awards were voted on by the coaches in their respective divisions and levels. Each Regional Staff of the Year appeared on the ballot for National Staff of the Year, along with the addition of staffs from all schools which reached the semifinals of their respective championship.

It marked the second time in four seasons that Burk and company have earned the honor (2021). They led Conn to a historic season that included a national runner-up finish and the program's first-ever NESCAC title. The Camels (14-3-7 overall) finished the season ranked No. 2 in the final USC Top 25 Poll.

Burk has led the Camels to new heights in his six seasons as head coach. He has produced the first national championship (2021), first NESCAC Championship (2024) and first unbeaten regular season (2023) in program history. Conn has earned a total of four NCAA berths during his tenure, which includes four Elite Eight trips and two title game appearances.

The Conn coaching staff will be honored at the United Soccer Coaches Awards Ceremony on Jan. 10, 2025, at the Marriott Hotel in Chicago, Ill. in conjunction with the United Soccer Coaches Convention.
