Evan Drew is in his third season as an assistant coach for the Navy women's golf team in 2026-27, joining Kylee Baker’s program in July 2024 and helping the squad to two Patriot League championships.
Drew’s second year had him help guide Navy to its third-straight league title, as the Midshipmen to the 2026 Patriot League Championship on their home course by pulling away for an 11-stroke victory over runner-up Bucknell at the U.S. Naval Academy Golf Club. Emma Tang took home the individual championship for a second-straight spring and Vivian Cressman finished as the championship runner-up.
Continuing to dominant the honors, Tang was named the league’s Golfer of the Year for the second-straight campaign and earned her third-straight all-league distinction, highlighting five All-Patriot League performers among the Mids. In addition to their all-league honors, Cressman and Keira Howard also garnered Academic All-Patriot League nods, as the two were joined by Megan Kirkpatrick in receiving WGCA All-American Scholar accolades.
In Drew’s first season, the Midshipmen captured the 2025 Patriot League Championship, winning the tournament by a 38-stroke margin and punching a ticket to the NCAA Gold Canyon Regional. The season included three first-place and five top-5 finishes for the Mids, saw six different program records broken and featured two individual medals.
Individually in 2024-25, Drew helped mentor Emma Tang into the Patriot League Golfer of the Year and Megan Kirkpatrick into the league's Rookie-of-the-Year honors, the first Navy golfers in program history to win those respective awards. Tang also became the second-straight Navy golfer to take home the individual medal at the Patriot League Championship, highlighting a program-record five All-Patriot League honorees.
Drew joined the Mids after coaching the previous three seasons in New York’s Capital region, spending the 2023-24 campaign as the head women’s golf coach at Siena while also serving at the helm of the RPI men’s golf program for two years (2021-23).
In his lone season leading the Saints, Drew’s squad posted an eighth-place finish at the MAAC Championship, while Mackenzie Whitney captured a pair of MAAC Golfer of the Week awards. In the classroom, Drew oversaw the duo of Jillian Barend and Manoela Barcellos take home MAAC All-Academic honors.
His two-year stint at RPI as the head men's golf coach and assistant women's basketball coach saw Drew finish as a finalist for the 2023 Dave Williams Award as the top men's golf coach in NCAA Division III, as he led the Engineers to a program-best eighth-place at the 2023 NCAA Division III Championship. While at RPI, Drew also led the men’s golf program to the 2023 Liberty League Championship and was named the 2023 Liberty League Coach of the Year. Mentoring both the 2022 and 2023 Liberty League Golfers of the Year, he coached a GCAA Second Team All-American (2022-23) and Third Team All-American (2021-22), four GCAA All-Region selections and had one player qualify as an individual for the 2022 NCAA Division III Championship.
Prior to RPI, Drew had stints as an assistant men's soccer coach at the College of Saint Rose in 2021, as an assistant women's soccer coach at Hartwick in 2018-19 and as an assistant coach with both the men's basketball and women's soccer programs at SUNY Adirondack in 2017-18. Drew also served as an assistant golf professional from 2018 to 2023 at the Saratoga Spa Golf Course in Saratoga Springs, N.Y., and previously worked as an assistant pro at the Ausable Club in Keene Valley, N.Y.
A native of Elizabethtown, N.Y., he was a multi-sport student-athlete at SUNY Canton, playing golf for two years and soccer and basketball for one season each. Drew graduated with a bachelor's degree in sports management in 2014.
