Corrine Drost was an assistant on William & Mary’s staff during the 2018-19 season.
While Drost was instrumental in many aspects of the program, her primary responsibilities included serving as the defensive coordinator, goalie coach, recruiting coordinator and equipment coordinator. Additionally, she oversees player development in all areas of the field and student-athlete wellbeing.
Under Drost’s direction, W&M excelled defensively during her first season with the Tribe. In addition to leading the Colonial Athletic Association in ground balls per game (18.53), W&M ranked second in the conference in caused turnovers per game (9.73).
A number of Tribe standouts also benefited from Drost’s tutelage last season, as three standouts combined to garner four all-league honors. Additionally, goalie Elsa Rall led the CAA in ground balls per game while three Tribe players ranked among the league’s top 10 in caused turnovers per game.
Drost joined the Tribe staff after serving as an assistant at Drexel in 2018 where she helped the Dragons improve their conference ranking in multiple statistical categories, including goals, assists and draw controls. Additionally, she developed and mentored two all-conference standouts and the CAA Rookie of the Year.
Prior to joining Drexel’s staff, Drost spent three seasons at her alma mater, the University of Delaware, where she helped mentor the Blue Hens’ offense. In addition to totaling 537 points during her three seasons, UD piled up 22 victories during her tenure.
Highlighting her time at UD was the 2015 season when the Blue Hens ranked 19th nationally in scoring margin (3.89), which represented the program’s best figure since 1998, and advanced to the CAA Championships. The following year, she helped Delaware rank No. 18 in the country with a margin of 3.24 goals per game.
Drost starred on the field at Delaware from 2008-11 and finished her career with 70 goals, highlighted by 30 as a senior. She helped Delaware reach the CAA Championships twice, including a title game appearance in 2009.
Following her playing career, Drost served one season as a volunteer assistant at Delaware in 2012 before joining the coaching staff at Lafayette for two seasons. Her Lafayette teams included the 2013 squad, which stands as one of the best in recent program history and advanced to the Patriot League Tournament.
