At Cornell

Drew Hutchins joined the men’s soccer coaching staff in April of 2016. In his first four year helping guide the program, the team has seen incremental improvements each year.

Cornell turned in a strong 2019 campaign despite a number of injuries to key players throughout the year, finishing the season with a 10-5-2 record and a 3-2-2 mark in Ivy League competition. The Big Red went undefeated at home, going 6-0-1 at Berman Field. Cornell placed five members of the All-Ivy teams, including Ryan Bayne (first team), John Scearce (first team), Connor Drought (second team), Emeka Eneli (honorable mention) and Harry Fuller (honorable mention). Scearce earned second team all-region honors before signing a professional contract with Union Omaha of the USL One league.
 
Despite 21 of the 28 members on the 2018 roster being underclassmen, the Big Red posted an overall mark of 11-6 and went 4-3 in Ivy League play. For just the 11th time in program history, Cornell posted double-digit win numbers. Cornell placed four members on the All-Ivy teams, in addition to Emeka Eneli taking home Ivy League Rookie of the Year honors and Charles Touche earning all-region accolades. The team also led the Ivy League in goals with 30 goals.
 
Hutchins also helped the program extend its unbeaten streak over regional rival Colgate to 10 straight games.
 
In 2017, Hutchins helped the squad improve to a 7-8-2 overall record and a 2-4-1 showing in Ivy League play – an impressive turnaround from its one-win season the year before. Hutchins’ presence on the sidelines proved to be valuable as the team’s offensive productivity nearly doubled from the previous season. Cornell’s 22 goals were the third most in the league that year.
 
He was also instrumental in guiding the team to a monumental overtime victory over No. 11 Syracuse, marking the first time that the Big Red had defeated the Orange since 2001.
 
In his three years on East Hill, Hutchins has coached 11 players who have earned All-Ivy recognition: George Pedlow (Second Team, 2016), Ryan Watters (Honorable Mention, 2016), Richie Hrncir (Second Team, 2017) and Tommy Hansan (Honorable Mention, 2017), Charles Touche (First Team, 2018), Emeka Eneli (Second Team, 2018; Honorable Mention, 2019), Tate Keir (Second Team, 2018), John Scearce (Honorable Mention, 2018; First Team 2019), Ryan Bayne (First Team, 2019), Connor Drought (Second Team, 2019) and Harry Fuller (Honorable Mention, 2019). Eneli also brought home the Ivy League Rookie of the Year award in 2018, while Touche went on to collect United Soccer Coaches NCAA Division I Men's All-Northeast Region Third Team Honors. Scearce was named second team All-Northeast Region in 2019.
