Stephanie Demake enters her first year with the women's soccer program as assistant coach in 2017 after joining the program February 6, 2017.

"I am extremely happy to be able to add an assistant coach of Stephanie's experience to our program here at Davidson," said Denton. "She brings exciting knowledge of coaching and recruiting at the division one level and this will continue to add to our program. We are all looking forward to Stephanie getting started this Spring as we prepare for the 2017 Fall Season."

Demake comes to Davidson after a three-year stay at Troy University as the women's soccer assistant.

"To be offered the opportunity to work at such a prestigious academic institution and be challenged in the competitive A-10 Conference is something I'm incredibly excited about," said Demake. "In speaking with the current players, men's and women's coaching staff, I am drawn to the pride in community within Davidson College Athletics. Adam has an excellent reputation in the soccer community and I'mm thrilled to have the opportunity to work alongside him and propel Davidson Women's Soccer to greater heights. Davidson offers such a fantastic student-athlete experience that I'm eager to begin recruiting some of the brightest, hardest working, and most talented players in the country to be a part of our program."
