WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. -- Wake Forest women's soccer's Brittany Cameron has been promoted to the role of Associate Head Coach, the program announced on Monday.
"First and foremost, I would like to thank Wake Forest University, Tony da Luz and Craig Zakrzewski for their steadfast guidance and support while giving me this opportunity at such a prestigious school and program," Cameron said.

"Brittany has earned this opportunity and been a great addition to our program," da Luz added. "She has shown all of the qualities that the best coaches in the country possess and I have no doubt that she will continue to provide outstanding leadership for our student-athletes on the field and in the classroom."
