A second team All-Patriot League selection in 2023, Drillock was named a team captain this season, along with fellow seniors Maria Comerford and Kelsey Minister. As one of the leaders of the squad, she has had the opportunity to guide the Crusaders to one of their best campaigns in recent memory.
“I was honored that not only the coaches, but also the players on the team nominated me for this role,” Drillock said. “I’m also excited to lead the team because I know we have a special group this year. It has been awesome to see players develop and grow, and know that I’ve had the opportunity to lead them through that.”
In addition to her accomplishments on the field, Drillock has been a standout in the classroom. A member of the College Honors Program with a double major in neuroscience and psychology, she has received Academic All-Patriot League and College Sports Communicators Academic All-District honors, in addition to being selected to the Intercollegiate Women's Lacrosse Coaches Association Academic Honor Roll. the Patriot League Academic Honor Roll and the Holy Cross Dean’s List.
In the summer of 2023, Drillock had the opportunity to perform an independent study under Dr. Johanna Daily at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. She conducted a proposal for a clinical trial consisting of dimethyl fumarate as a therapy for the neurological complications of Long COVID-19, gaining extensive knowledge in the field of study.
“It was such a great opportunity and it actually changed my career course,” Drillock said. “I realized that I did want to become a doctor, since I was able to see patients and also do research on things that can help them. It was really eye-opening to me, and it made a huge impact on my future.”
