Wake Technical Community College athletic director Brian Anweiler names Enrique Rodriguez the school's next head women's soccer coach. Rodriguez comes to Wake Tech from Georgia Southwestern University where he served as the head women's soccer coach for three seasons.

"It is a privilege and honor to represent Wake Tech as their next head women's soccer coach," said Rodriguez. "I would like to take this opportunity to thank Athletic Director Brian Anweiler and all the search committee for believing in me. We will keep improving the program and making sure all the student athletes reach their potential."

Prior to leading the GSW Hurricane women's soccer program, he was with the University of Georgia where he served as a volunteer coach on the women's soccer staff from January 2015 through March 2017 when he was named head coach at GSW.

GSW competes in the NCAA Division II Peach Belt Conference. The Peach Belt is one of the premiere DII women's soccer conferences in the country.

"Wake Tech is thrilled to have Coach Rodriguez join our coaching family," said Anweiler. "His background and coaching experience will be a tremendous benefit for our student-athletes and help them further fulfill their academic and athletic goals."

In his first season coaching at UGA, Rodriguez worked primarily with video scout coordination, a role that helped the Bulldogs earn two wins over top-20 ranked competition. Georgia advanced to the 2015 Southeastern Conference Tournament for the 17th time in school history and earned a win against No. 4 Texas A&M, marking the highest-ranked team a UGA squad has ever defeated.

Rodriguez was brought on staff at UGA after serving as the assistant coach for the women's team at The Citadel from 2008-15. Rodriguez was the international recruit coordinator and goalkeeper coach for the Bulldogs. He also served as the head coach of the men's club soccer team from 2010-14 while at The Citadel.

He also has an extensive career on the prep level, serving as the head coach of the men's varsity teams at the Porter Gaud and Pinewood Preparatory Schools in Charleston, S.C., finishing as the state runner-up for three consecutive seasons at Pinewood from 2011-13.

Rodriguez earned his degree in Architecture from La Salle University at the Bogota campus in Colombia in 2000. Rodriguez played collegiately while studying in Bogota, where La Salle reached the College Tournament finals in 2000. He holds a USSF National "D" License.
