Kanute Drugan was named the head women's soccer coach at Washington College in July 2012. In his first season as the Shorewomen's head coach, he guided them to best-ever Centennial Conference record, their fewest losses ever in a season, and their best winning percentage in 10 years.

Prior to arriving in Chestertown, Drugan spent the previous 15 seasons at Aurora University in Illinois, where he compiled an outstanding win-loss record of 229-85-13 and guided the Spartans to 12 conference championships and eight NCAA Division III Tournament appearances. His 229 wins rank 27th all-time in NCAA Division III women's soccer history. His winning percentage of .720 ranks 23rd all-time in Division III and 50th all-time across all three NCAA Divisions.

Drugan's first nine seasons were Aurora's last nine as a member of the Northern Illinois Iowa Conference (NIIC) and the Spartans won the NIIC Championship in six of those seasons - 1997, 1999, 2000, 2002, 2003, and 2005. In 2006, Aurora moved to the newly-formed Northern Athletics Conference (NAC) and the Spartans won each of that league's first six conference championships under Drugan. He was named the NIIC's Coach of the Year four times (1997, 1999, 2000, 2005) and the NAC's Coach of the Year three times (2006, 2007, 2010). 

In addition to leading Aurora to eight NCAA Tournament appearances, Drugan coached the Spartans to final national rankings of ninth in 2002 and 25th in 2007. Aurora finished the season regionally-ranked eight times in his final 10 seasons as head coach. 

Under Drugan's guidance, Spartan student-athletes earned 93 All-Conference first-team awards, 13 All-Region awards, 12 Conference Player of the Year awards, and one All-America honor. They also excelled in the classroom, boasting the highest team grade-point average among all of Aurora's varsity sports during each of Drugan's 15 seasons and annually earning a National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) College Team Academic Award. 

A leader in the coaching community, Drugan served seven years on the NCAA Regional Advisory Committee for the Central Region, eight years as his conference's women's soccer committee chair, and nine years as the soccer commissioner for the City of Aurora Sports Festival. 

In addition to coaching women's soccer, Drugan fulfilled a variety of other duties during his tenure at Aurora, including over 11 years as the Athletic Recruitment Coordinator, eight years as assistant and - later - associate head coach for men's basketball, and a two-month stint as interim head coach for women's basketball. 

Prior to arriving at Aurora, Drugan accumulated extensive soccer coaching experience in the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU), Northern Illinois Soccer League (NISL), and Illinois Women's Soccer League (IWSL). He also spent 16 seasons as an AAU basketball head coach, posting a record of 258-150 and leading both boys and girls teams to AAU National and Regional Championships.

Drugan graduated cum laude with a B.A. in English and Government from Ohio University in 1977. He was a four-sport athlete while attending Southern Local High School in Ohio.

Julia Zorn was named an assistant coach for the Shorewomen in the summer of 2012. Zorn played Division I soccer at Iona College and Towson University. 

Zorn began her collegiate career at Towson, earning Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) All-Academic Team honors in 2008, her lone season with the Tigers before transferring to Iona. At Iona, she helped the Gaels finish third in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) in 2009, their highest conference finish in five years. She was also named to the MAAC All-Academic Team in 2010 and served as her team's Student-Athletic Advisory Committee (SAAC) representative. 

An exceptional Dean's List student, Zorn graduated from Iona in 2012 with a 4.0 grade-point average and two degrees - a B.S. in Biology and a B.A. in Psychology. She has performed an extensive amount of research in both fields. She holds a Basic Life Support (BLS) certification from the American Heart Association. 

A Maryland native, Zorn spent two summers as a youth soccer coach for Davidsonville Athletics.
