Zack Schilawski was named the program's assistant coach on February 11, 2020, waiting nearly a full year for his first match with the Crimson and Gold after the 2020 fall season was pushed six months due to the COVID-19 pandemic. 

In his first season with the program in 2020 (delayed to 2021), the Pioneers finished 6-2 overall and 6-2 in Summit League play, claiming the Summit League regular season title. 

Schilawski played in 99 career matches at Wake Forest (program record) and posted 100 career points (third player in program history) on 40 goals and 20 assists. The 2009 NSCAA Third Team All-American had 15 game-winning goals in his career, including the winner against Ohio State in the 2007 National Championship game. The Cary, N.C., native played three of his four seasons with Franks at Wake Forest, including the 2007 title run. In the classroom, Schilawski was a two-time Academic All-American.

Schilawski was taken ninth overall in the 2010 MLS SuperDraft by the New England Revolution, making his MLS debut in his rookie year. In his rookie season, Schilawski became the first rookie in MLS history to register a hat trick in his home debut. Following his professional career, Schilawski graduated from law school at the University of North Carolina School of Law.

In 2017, Schilawski was admitted to practice law in North Carolina, where he focused his practice on all aspects of North Carolina family law litigation and negotiation with the Wake Family Law Group.

Schilawski has coaching experience in the PDL, assisting North Carolina FC's U-23 team in the summers. The Carolina native coached Pioneer goalkeeper Will Palmquist in his time with NCFC.
