Profile
Drummond enters her third season in 2018-19 as an assistant coach after joining Sarah Dalton's coaching staff in August of 2016.

Drummond helped Vermont to one of the best win-improvement rates in teh country. UVMs +5-win improvement from 2017 was the third-best best in Division I and tied with Boston College for the best among New England programs. The Cats had two newcomers, MacKenzie Bolt and Jessica English, land on the America East All-Rookie Team. It marked the sixth straight season that UVM freshman earned All-Rookie honors.

In her first season on the sidelines, UVM played a competitive schedule against four teams who earned a berth into the NCAA Tournament Albany, Bryant, Louisville, and Stony Brook. The 2017 Cats also played a pair of ranked opponents No. 4 Stony Brook and No. 16 Denver.

The Green and Gold had three America East All-Conference performers in 2017, including Second Team honorees Alison Bolt and Meghan Cobb. Brynne Yarranton made the All-Academic Team after maintaining a 4.0 GPA during her UVM tenure. Vermont has landed at least one player on the All-Academic Team in every season since 2008.

Drummond helped the Class of 2017 graduate with 30 career victories, which is tied for the the fourth-most by a graduating class. The unit helped set the program record with 12 wins in 2014 and set the school mark with four conference victories in 2015.

The Nashua, New Hampshire native came to Burlington after three seasons as an assistant coach at Dartmouth. With the Big Green, she was the lead defensive coach and was responsible for recruiting. Drummond also organized all team travel and logistics.

She graduated from Oregon in 2012 after a four-year playing career. Drummond left Oregon ranked fourth in program history in career draw controls and fifth in ground balls. During her senior year, she helped the Ducks claim the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation title and a spot in the NCAA Tournament play-in-game as part of the best season in program history.

Following her senior season, she served as an undergraduate assistant coach at Oregon working with the full-time staff on daily tasks associated with practices and game management.
