Wake Forest head women's soccer coach Tony da Luz announced the addition of Assistant Coach Courtney Drummond to the staff on June 27, 2022.
In 2023, Drummond helped Wake Forest reach the ACC Tournament after one of the best regular seasons in program history, as the Demon Deacons finished the regular season with just two losses, setting a new program record with the previous mark being set at three in 2011. During the 2023 regular season campaign, the Deacs were not shut out in a single game for the first time in program history. Additionally, Wake Forest went unbeaten at home on the year.
In 2022, Drummond helped Wake Forest reach the NCAA Tournament for the 22nd time in program history. The Deacs accumulated an impressive .778 goals-against-average, while recording nine shutouts. Of note, the Demon Deacons ranked within the top 50 nationally in both categories. Additionally, defensively, the Deacs ranked first in the ACC in total goals allowed (16).
Drummond came to Wake Forest after eleven seasons at City SC Carlsbad, including 15 years of coaching experience.
As an assistant coach at CSUSM, Drummond helped mentor 28 all-conference selections and 6 All-Americans. The Cougars have won three more conference titles and have appeared in four more NAIA tournaments with her on the sideline.
Before Drummond left CSUSM in May 2016, she was a key part of the University and Athletics Department transition to NCAA Division II. Drummond left CSUSM to concentrate on ushering in and becoming the Girls U.S. Soccer Development Academy Director at LA Galaxy San Diego.
As a player, Drummond started 72 of 73 matches in which she appeared with CSUSM. She scored a record seven goals as a freshman in the program’s first season and helped CSUSM to back-to-back Association of Independent Institutions conference titles in 2008 and 2009. Drummond also appeared in two NAIA National Championships.
