CINCINNATI - Xavier men's soccer coach Andy Fleming has announced the hiring of Noel Orozco as the program's director of operations. He spent the 2018 season as a volunteer assistant coach at Houston Baptist.
"I first want to thank our boosters and donors who, thru our All For One Fund have allowed us to fund Noels position for eight years," said Fleming. "Noel comes to us as a former Division I player with both Division III and I coaching experience. I can best describe him as loyal, and hard working… a man of few words but with great stamina in the office, putting in long hours in and grinding way.
"I was impressed with his desire for Xavier and his ability to listen well and retain lots of data. I think he will mesh in very well with our other assistants as we look at a balance of age and skill sets among us."
Orozco helped Houston Baptist post a 5-8-3 (3-6-1 WAC) record last season. The Huskies placed a program-best seven individuals on the all-conference team. He also oversaw video analysis and scouting reports.
Prior to Houston Baptist, Orozco was an assistant coach at Franklin College in 2017. He worked specifically with the goalkeepers and served as the program's liaison with the academic department and recruiting.
Orozco played at St. Bonaventure from 2015-16, playing in 36 matches (33 starts) with one assist. He played at Oklahoma Baptist for two seasons before transferring to St. Bonaventure.
The Houston, Texas, native earned his degree in political science from St. Bonaventure in May of 2017.
