Mike Drake was named the new Head Men's Soccer Coach at Keuka College in January 2024.
"I'm beyond excited to be a part of the Keuka College family. Everyone so far has been warm and welcoming, and I want to thank our Director of Athletics Jon Accardi for the opportunity," said Coach Drake. "I'm looking forward to working with the team as we represent the greater Keuka College community with our new brand of soccer."
Coach Drake came to Keuka College following a successful stint at Onondaga Community College, where he began with the women's program as an assistant for three seasons before taking over the lead role. He then transitioned to the men's team in 2022 and compiled a 22-8-2 record over two seasons, leading the Lazers to a pair of NJCAA Region III Championship appearances. Coach Drake was also well connected with Onondaga Community College and the role of the student-athlete, serving as an academic advisor.
"We are happy to welcome Mike Drake to Keuka College," said Director Accardi. "Mike has endless energy and a positive outlook, and we think it will impact not only the men's soccer program but all of the Athletic Department and the College overall."
Originally from Moravia, Coach Drake graduated from Moravia High School, then majored in Exercise Science at Pfieffer University in North Carolina. He was a member of both the Falcons Men's Soccer team and the college's Student-Athlete Advisory Committee.
