ORLANDO – High Point University Volleyball announced the addition of former UCF Volleyball volunteer assistant coach Cameron Stevens to its staff, the Panthers released on Wednesday.
Stevens leaves UCF after a successful three-year stint at UCF that saw the program achieve unprecedented heights. In Stevens' time with the Knights from 2019-22, the Knights won three straight American Athletic Conference titles and reached the NCAA Tournament all three years, advancing to the second round twice.
"I could not be more excited for Cam and his family," said UCF head coach Todd Dagenais. "We have had many people come through our staff and go on to make a difference in other programs, he deserves this opportunity as much as any of them.
"Cam's going to a first-class program, with a first-class head coach who will look out for him and help train him to his potential. This is not the last we have heard of Cameron or his upward climb.
"Everybody associated with UCF Volleyball wants to thank Cameron for his service and everything he has done to contribute to our perennial success. We can't wait to see the trajectory his career takes."
Stevens has coached both boys and girls at Timber Creek High School over the last 10 years. He spent seven years as the head girls' coach, reaching the regional playoffs six times. He led the Wolves to the regional finals in 2014 and regional semifinals in 2018. He captured district championships in 2014 and 2018, as well as a Metro Conference championship in 2018. He finished his time as the head girls' coach with a record of 88-75.
