“We are extremely excited that Brittany has joined our institution; she has solid experience and leadership skills that will help kick-start our soccer program,” Director of Athletics Will Dunne said. “We had a lot of interest in the position, and Brittany quickly rose to the top of the list as a great fit.”
Jones recently completed her fourth season at the helm of the Florida Southern program in Lakeland. Florida Southern College is a NCAA Division II member that competes in the Sunshine State Conference.
One of Jones' biggest successes at Florida Southern was her team’s performance in the classroom – the program was ranked in the Top 20 the past three years in the NCAA Division II Team Academic Award, including finishing fourth in the country last season with a team cumulative grade-point average of 3.57 (out of 4.0).
“Academics are such an important aspect of our Intercollegiate Athletic program, and we’re confident that Brittany will help this new team maintain that critically important focus as we move forward,” Dunne said.
Jones is a local product from Central Florida, where she attended high school in the Orlando area and played college level at Stetson University. She also began her coaching career at Stetson as an assistant coach prior to Florida Southern.
“I want to thank Dr. Tom LoBasso, president, and Will Dunne for the opportunity to lead the women’s soccer program at Daytona State,” Jones stated. “I believe DSC provides a fantastic value to all they serve, and I look forward to sharing that value with the soccer community. It’s exciting to be able to start the program and have such a large impact on the direction of the athletic department and institution as a whole.”
