Bob Lowe

Bob Lowe joined the Brevard College athletic department as the head softball coach in October 2015.


“I’m very excited to welcome Coaches Lowe and Bartholomew to our staff here at Brevard,” said Athletic Director Juan Mascaro. “Bob brings experience taking programs to new heights and I expect our team to respond well to his coaching philosophies.”


“It’s a great opportunity for me to take this program to where it needs to be,” Bob Lowe explained. “I’ve been in situations like Brevard’s before and feel like the current team is ready to take that next step. We will be diligent and tenacious until the program is where it should be.”


Lowe has a diverse background that includes a pair of successful coaching stints. He most recently served as an assistant coach for two seasons at Division III Piedmont College in Demorest, Georgia. While with the Lions, Lowe coached the pitchers and the defense. He also led the team’s recruiting efforts, garnering commitments from as far away as Arizona and Wisconsin, and was the head coach of the JV program.


Prior to working at Piedmont, Lowe served for four seasons as the head coach at Sauk Valley Community College, a junior college in Dixon, Illinois, from 2010-2013. He led the Skyhawks to a 148-66 record, two Region IV Tournament championships, and a seventh-place finish at the NJCAA Division II National Tournament in 2013.


He was twice named Region IV Coach of the Year and selected to coach the Region IV All-Star Game in 2012. Lowe also skippered the Skyhawks to the first two Arrowhead Conference championships in school history, won a school-record 47 games in 2012, and coached Sauk’s first-ever All-American in addition to 14 all-conference, nine all-region, and seven academic all-conference selections.


In addition to his collegiate experience, Lowe has coached at several camps and clinics, primarily focusing on pitching techniques. His broad array of experience in the sports industry stretches into high school and youth basketball coaching, managing professional franchises, and serving as the commissioner of the Iron Man Football League.


As a semi-retired licensed attorney, Lowe holds a J.D. from Northern Illinois University. He practiced law for several years and has assisted in compliance duties at both of his coaching stints.

Karavin Dew

BREVARD, N.C. – Head softball coach Bob Lowe has announced the hiring of former Western Kentucky catcher Karavin Dew to an assistant coaching position.


“Karavin has been an assistant coach at the high school level and been at the travel ball level for a number of years, including with some premier programs,” said head coach Bob Lowe. “I’m looking forward to having her expertise on our staff.”


Since graduating from Western Kentucky in 2013, the Calhoun, Georgia native has served in assistant coaching roles at two high schools, including a successful tenure with Dalton High School in north Georgia that saw the Catamounts make their first-ever Elite Eight appearance and set school records for highest batting average and with four All-Region selections.


Dew has also worked with two travel teams, including one head coaching position, and has been a personal instructor for 14 Division I players.


“She’s played on turf before,” continued Lowe. “With our new field coming in, it’s going to be very important for our kids to understand that we have to build our team for the future around speed. Not just power, but speed as well. She understands that.”


Appearing in 173 games with 150 starts for the Lady Toppers, Dew earned two first team all-Sun Belt Conference selections and set a school record with five triples during her sophomore season in 2011. She ranks second in school history with 32 runners caught stealing and is third with 735 putouts. Her 14 runners caught stealing as a junior ranks fifth in single-season history, and she holds school records for most triples (2) and most sacrifice flies (2) in a single game.


“I’m very excited to be here,” said Dew. “I can’t wait to work with the girls, develop their skills, and help give them a great collegiate experience.”


She was named to the Sun Belt Honor Roll during all four years at Western Kentucky and was a three-time Dean’s List member. Dew graduated in 2013 with a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education.

Showcase Tips

Are you ready for your next college showcase?
I have used the Soccer in College site for 8 years, and it has helped me keep my personal and soccer information up to date, and has helped be track college contacts and interest. I think the site helped me prepare for college offers, and helped me determine that I wanted to play for UNC.
