After serving as an assistant coach with the Claremont-Mudd-Scripps men's soccer team during the 2021 season, when he helped the Stags to an undefeated regular season in SCIAC play, Trevor Swartz is entering his first season as the head coach in 2022. 

Swartz joined the CMS staff last summer as the top assistant to then-head coach Ryan Fahey (CMC '10), who left in February to take the associate head coaching position at the University of Connecticut. Fahey, Swartz and assistant coach Stefan Gonzalez were named the SCIAC Coaching Staff of the Year after leading the Stags to a 10-0-2 conference record, the program's first undefeated season in league play since 1993.

CMS also went undefeated against Division III teams during the regular season for the first time in program history. The only regular season defeat came in overtime to NAIA program Westmont in the opening week of the year (Sept. 3), which was followed by an eight-game winning streak and a 16-game (14-0-2) unbeaten streak, before the Stags ended the fall with a 14-2-3 record.

Swartz was a four-year standout for the Indiana men's soccer team from 2015-18, leading the nation in assists as a senior with 16, when he served as a team captain. He was a second-team All-Big Ten selection, and helped Indiana reach back-to-back College Cups, finishing as the runner-up in 2017 and as a semifinalist in 2018, when the Hoosiers ended the regular season ranked No. 1 in the country.

In his senior season, Swartz had six assists in the NCAA Tournament on Indiana's seven goals. He had three in a 4-0 win over Connecticut, two in a 2-0 win over Air Force, and one in a 1-0 win over Notre Dame. Indiana finished the season with a 20-3-1 record after falling to Maryland in the national semifinals. 

In 2017, he scored the tying goal in the regional finals against Michigan State, which the Hoosiers won on penalty kicks, and then assisted on the game's only goal in a 1-0 win over North Carolina in the national semifinals. Indiana's 1-0 loss in the national championship game was its only defeat of the season, as it finished 18-1-6. 

After finishing his collegiate career, Swartz went on to the professional ranks, where he played one season with Toronto FC 2 and one season with the Greenville Triumph in South Carolina, where he was part of a USL Championship team in 2020. Around his professional career, Swartz also gained coaching experience, serving as a volunteer on the coaching staff at Sacramento State in 2019 and at DePaul in 2020. 

A Cameron Park, California native, Swartz played at Ponderosa High School, where he set the school record for goals scored (62) and was invited to play in the 2013 High School Soccer All-America Game.

Swartz graduated from Indiana's Kelley School of Business as a triple major in economics, public policy analysis, and business analytics, and then earned his master's degree from Concordia University-Irvine in Coaching and Athletic Administration in 2021. He earned Academic All-Big Ten honors as a sophomore, junior and senior, and served on the Indiana Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC).
