Drexl joined the staff of the Falcons after spending the 2022 season as an assistant coach at Presbyterian College of the Big South Conference.

The Falcons put together a historic 2024 campaign, finishing 25-10 with a 16-2 MAC record, capturing the MAC Championship and finishing as the NIVC Runner-Up for just the second time in program history. As a team in 2024, the Falcons set multiple Rally Scoring Era records, including aces in a season (231) and total blocks in a season (335.5). The team also matched the record for solo blocks in a three-set match, registering five against Buffalo on Oct. 17. The 16-2 MAC record matched the records for most MAC wins, best MAC winning percentage and the fewest MAC losses in an 18-match conference season. In totality, 38 individual accolades were added to the record book following the season in either the All-Time or Rally Scoring Eras. Among those including Alexis Mettille breaking the program’s single-season and career hitting percentage records as well as Lauryn Hovey breaking the Rally Scoring records for single-season and career aces.

Drexl arrived in Bowling Green with two years of coaching experience at the Division I level, spending the 2022 season as an assistant coach at Presbyterian College and the 2021 season as a volunteer assistant coach at Georgia Southern. With Presbyterian, Drexl assisted the Blue Hose to a 9-19 record with a 5-11 conference standing before serving as interim head coach for a month following the season.
