It’s fair to say that Northwestern head coach Kate Drohan and her twin sister and associate head coach Caryl have earned their place NU athletics history. Thirteen NCAA tournament appearances, five Regional titles, two Big Ten Championships and a set of back-to-back Women’s College World Series semifinal appearances mark their tenure.
This weekend, though, they gained perhaps their most significant accolade yet. With their 641st career victory, the twins broke the program record for all-time wins previously held by Kate’s predecessor Sharon J. Drysdale — for whom Northwestern’s softball field is named — during the Wildcats’ first home stand in nearly two years.
