"I'm thrilled to welcome Steph back home to Boston to join our staff," said Lowe. "I've followed her career for a long time through our parallel stops in Alabama, North Carolina and back to New England. She is an outstanding coach with an incredible work ethic. I'm excited for our players to start working with her."
Demake spent the last five years as the head coach at Post University, guiding the program to its highest win total in seven seasons in 2022 as well as the program's highest Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) finish since 2015.

Additionally, Demake has been an assistant at Stetson University, Ohio University and Wheaton College.
The Auburn, Mass. native began her coaching career with NEFC and has spent time coaching with club programs Connecticut Rush Select, Farmington Soccer Association, Lake Norman Soccer Club and Stetson Football Association.
