Matt Storniolo was named the head coach at Northwestern on March 24, 2016 after serving as the team’s interim head coach during the 2015-16 season.

He spent the previous six seasons as an assistant for the Wildcats.

His efforts in his first year were part of Northwestern’s 13th-place finish at the national meet in 2009, capping off a season in which the ‘Cats finished 18-2 in dual meets with a 6-2 mark in Big Ten Conference action.

In 2011-12, Storniolo helped guide Northwestern to a ninth-place finish at NCAA’s, the Wildcats’ first top-10 placement since 2007. Jason Welch found the medal stand, placing fourth at 157 lbs. Storniolo worked extensively with Welch throughout his junior season, helping him amass a 27-3 record (was 23-0 at one point) and win 16 of his matches with bonus points.

The trend continued in 2012-13 as Welch capped his career as a national finalist at 157 and three-time All-American. Welch finished runner-up at 157 in 2013, bettering his placement at NCAA’s each year (sixth, fourth, second). Storniolo also worked closely with two-time NCAA qualifier, Pierce Harger.

During the 2013-14 season, Storniolo worked extensively with Jason Tsirtsis, who won the 149 lbs. NCAA title as a redshirt freshman and the ‘Cats finished No. 9 in the nation, NU’s second top 10 finish in the last three seasons.

The 2014-15 season saw Northwestern send six wrestlers to the NCAA Championships, including Jameson Oster (141), Jason Tsirtsis (149) and Pierce Harger (165). Tsirtsis won his second straight Big Ten Championship.

Storniolo began his college wrestling career at Penn State, reaching the finals of the Big Ten Championships on his way to winning the conference’s Freshman of the Year honors. After transferring to Oklahoma, Storniolo reached the Big 12 Tournament finals each of the next three years, claiming the league championship as a senior in 2007.

Storniolo graduated from the University of Oklahoma with a Bachelor of Science degree in human relations.
