Profile
Jana Drummond enters her sixth year on the Massachusetts women’s lacrosse staff in 2022-23 and first as head coach.

Over her five seasons under former head coach Angela McMahon-Serpone, she helped lead the squad to a record of 81-21, five Atlantic 10 Regular Season Championships, two Atlantic 10 Tournament titles and three NCAA Tournament berths.

In 2022 the Minutewomen earned the first at-large NCAA Tournament bid in program history and were ranked No. 19 in the final poll. UMass finished fifth in the nation in caused turnovers per game and sixth nationally in clearing percentage on Drummond’s watch. At the conclusion of the season, 18 individuals were named to the IWLCA Academic Honor Roll, while six individuals earned Atlantic 10 All-Conference honors and three were named Inside Lacrosse All-Americans.

Under Drummond’s guidance, Caitlyn Petro tied the NCAA record for individual draw wins in a game in 2021 and the Minutewomen finished second in the nation in draw controls per-game. That season Drummond led the No. 12 scoring defense in the nation and mentored Steph Croke to her third Atlantic 10 Midfielder of the Year accolade (2018, 2019, 2021) as well as six All-Northeast Region honorees, six Atlantic 10 honorees and an IWLCA All-American. Drummond helped two defenders, Amy Moreau and Jordan Dean, earn national team tryouts with USA and Canada, respectively, while Ally Murphy was selected to the USA U19 squad.

As an assistant coach in 2019 Drummond helped guide the Massachusetts draw unit to a nation-best 19.11 draw controls per-game mark while posting the sixth-best draw control percentage in the country at .616. She was promoted to associate head coach following that season.

The Minutewoman draw unit saw a steady improvement after ranking 16th in the country in draw controls per game in 2018 during Drummond's first year on staff as they claimed their first of two consecutive Atlantic 10 regular-season titles during her time in Amherst.

Prior to arriving at UMass, Drummond served as an assistant coach at Marist where she coordinated the defense and coached the draw specialists, helping the Red Foxes win their first-ever MAAC regular-season championship in 2014. Under her tutelage, Hailey Wagner became the single-season draw control record holder at Marist while several Red Foxes were nationally ranked.

During her playing career, Drummond was a three-year co-captain and three-time all-conference selection at Oregon, where she finished as the program's all-time leading scorer with 146 goals.
