History

The Wake Forest field hockey program began in 1971 but experienced minimal success in its first three decades of existence. [2]

After the arrival of head coach Jennifer Averill in 1992, the program experienced major national success. [3]

In 2002, Wake Forest broke through to win its first ACC championship and went on to win the 2002 national title. The Demon Deacons were a dynasty in college field hockey in the 2000s, winning three consecutive national titles in 2002, 2003, and 2004. [4]

In 2006 and 2008 Wake Forest was national runner-ups, losing both times to Maryland in the championship. [4]
