SPRINGFIELD, Mo. – Drury women's golf head coach Faith Hopkins has announced that she will relinquish her duties at the conclusion of the 2026 season.
 
Hopkins will pursue opportunities outside of college golf.
 
"Over the past two seasons, Coach Hopkins has represented Drury and the women's golf program at a high level," said Drury Vice President and Director of Athletics Nyla Milleson. "We appreciate the dedication and impact she has made on our student-athletes."
 
During her tenure with Drury, Hopkins led the Panthers to their first NCAA Division II Regional since 2015. The program has four top-three finishes in the regular season under Hopkins, with one tournament win.
 
Isabelle Thrall is the lone All-GLVC selection for Drury under Hopkins, earning the honor following the 2024-25 season.
 
Hopkins previously served as an assistant coach at Evangel University; before that, she played collegiate golf at Missouri State and Oklahoma State.
 
A national search for the next leader of Drury's women's golf program will begin immediately.
 
The Panthers finish the regular season on April 12 with a two-day event at Norwood Hills Country Club for the UMSL Spring Invitational.
