Head Coach
7th Season
 

Coach Drew Burwash enters his seventh season at the helm of the Lindsey Wilson College women's program.

Burwash has led Lindsey Wilson to the last six NAIA National Tournaments, including the last three Final Four's. In those six tournaments, the Blue Raiders have failed to reach the national semifinals just once.

Burwash has led the Blue Raiders to three national championship matches and a pair of NAIA National Championships. He is a two-time NAIA National Coach of the Year (2004 and 2006).

In 2004, Burwash led the Blue Raiders to a 19-0-6 record -- the program's only unbeaten season -- and the program's first national championship. He again led the Blue Raiders to a national championship in 2006 with a four overtime 2-1 win over Azusa Pacific University. Lindsey Wilson finished that season with a 24-2-0 record.

Under Burwash's direction, Lindsey Wilson women's soccer has amassed a 122-14-10 record, including a 28-0-1 conference regular season record.

Burwash has coached 18 NAIA All-Americans, including one NAIA National Player of the Year. Fifty-two players have earned All Mid-South Conference honors during Burwash's tenure, including five MSC Players of the Year.

In addition to the two national championships, Burwash has led the Blue Raiders to six Mid-South regular season and tournament championships and three NAIA Region XI Championships.

In his first season at the helm of the women's soccer program, the Blue Raiders scored a NAIA record 162 goals during the season and won a program-best 20 consecutive games during the season while compiling a 25-2-0 record.

Prior to taking over the women's program, Burwash served as an assistant coach for the women's team for one season and for the men's program for five seasons, where he helped the Blue Raider men win four NAIA National Championships.

Prior to becoming a coach, Burwash was a standout goalkeeper at Lindsey Wilson, where he was a two-time NAIA All-American (1992-93).

Burwash was a member of the 1992 Blue Raider squad that became the first team in school history to qualify for the NAIA Men's Soccer National Tournament.

For his efforts during his playing days, Burwash was elected to the NAIA Hall of Fame in 2000 and the Lindsey Wilson College Athletic Hall of Fame in 2004.

Burwash is married to wife, Laura, and has a son, Eli.
