Glad Bugariu
Head Coach th
Date Named: 4/26/13 • Head Coaching Experience: 10 Season • Birthdate: 9/29/76 The first women’s soccer head coach in program history, Glad Bugariu immediately made history with the Broncs, as they went 8-9-4, tying for the ninth most wins by a first year NCAA Division I program in the state of Texas. Additionally, the Broncs tied for the third best 11-match start in Texas history by going 7-1-3. In fact, the Broncs remained undefeated through their first six matches (4-0-2), making them just the third inaugural program in Texas to do that. The Broncs won their first match on the road, 2-0 at Southern, their first match at home, 2-1 over Huston-Tillotson, their first WAC match, 3-1 over New Mexico State, and their first match in the brand new UTPA Soccer and Track & Field Complex, 3-0 over Chicago State. Bugariu’s team, which featured 16 true freshmen, one sophomore and one junior among those who played, racked up the honors, as Andreya Barrera earned Madness WAC Freshman of the Year and Madness All-WAC Second Team honors, freshman Aimie Inthoulay earned Madness All-WAC Second Team and a WAC Offensiver Player of the Week award, freshman Hanna Spets earned a WAC Offensiver Player of the Week award, and freshman Aubrie Coley earned three WAC Defensiver Player of the Week awards in net.
program to back-to-back conference championships. Additionally, two players were named to the NSCAA All-Region team, while four earned All-CVAC recognition. In 2005, his first season with the Crusaders, Bugariu guided the team to an 18-4 record, their best finish since 1999. The Crusaders captured the CVAC Tournament Title and a share of the regular season. They also finished fifth in the regional poll. Other accolades earned in the 2005 season include being ranked as the second most improved team in the nation by the NCAA, th finishing 11 in the country in shutouts, defeating the No. 3 and No. 10 ranked teams in the nation, and having two players earn NSCAA All-Region honors. In addition to his collegiate coaching experience, Bugariu has worked at the professional and international level in the CONCACAF region, both on the men’s and women’s side. In 2004, he was named the assistant national team coach of Grenada, engaging in qualifying for the 2006 World Cup. There, the team reached the second round of World Cup qualifying, narrowly losing to the United States, in addition to advancing from the "Group of Death" during Gold Cup qualifying. These achievements resulted in a 13-place rise in the FIFA rankings, the most significant advancement in the history of the country. From a developmental standpoint, Bugariu created the Grenada National Goalkeeper Development Program and the goalkeeper coach education curriculum.
Before coming to UTPA, Bugariu spent five seasons as the head coach at South Carolina State University, where he is the winningest coach in the program history. After taking over a team with the lowest RPI in NCAA DI women’s soccer and just nine studentathletes on the roster in 2008, Bugariu used his first recruiting class, which included 15 freshmen among the 16 newcomers, to completely revamp the program. The Bulldogs went 107-3 in 2009, the first winning season in program history, and tied for second place in the Great West Conference (GWC) East Division, their best finish ever. While eight statistical records th were broken, the 2009 team finished ranked 30 in the country in scoring, and also recorded the highest RPI increase and final ranking in their history. The team also had five student-athletes earn All-Conference honors and won more games that season then the program had in the previous four.
In 2000, at only 25 years of age, he was named Technical Director of the U.S. Virgin Islands, a country with a population of only 108,000 people. Bugariu was responsible for the development of the game in the country, creating programs that resulted in a 120 percent rise in soccer participation, in addition to creating national teams at every level. International headlines were made with the formation of a women's program at both senior and Under 19 levels for the first time in the history of the country. Both teams had significant success, with the senior women's national team reaching the second round of World Cup qualifying in the CONCACAF region. Additionally, he was in charge of all national teams, concentrating on the youth programs. Using mostly players under the age of 20 for all senior national team games, Bugariu achieved the first-ever rise in the men's FIFA Rankings for the U.S. Virgin Islands.
th
The 2010 season was the most successful in program history. Ranked 19 in the NCAA in scoring, the Bulldogs finished 13-6-1 and undefeated in the GWC East Division. Six Bulldogs earned All-Conference honors, former Mexican National Team player Briana Lopez was named Freshman of the Year, and Bugariu was named Coach of the Year. In total, 16 Bulldogs earned All-Conference honors in five years under Bugariu’s direction, including Alejandra Chirnio, the first player in program history to sign a professional contract, doing so with the Carolina Elite Cobras of the W-League.
Having coached in over 30 international matches against nations such as the United States, Trinidad and Tobago, Haiti, Surinam, Puerto Rico, Antigua, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Bahamas, Monserrat, and Guyana, among others, Bugariu also holds foreign and domestic coaching licenses, including the USSF “A” license, UEFA “B” license, NSCAA “Premier” Diploma, USSF “Youth” License, and the FIFA “Sports Medicine” Certificate.
While highly successful on the field, 2010 also contained significant academic achievements, as the team finished with the seventh highest GPA out of 321 NCAA Division I teams, as ranked by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA). The accolades did not stop there, as the Bulldogs also captured their first ever NSCAA Team Academic Award while also having 12 student-athletes named to the Great West Conference Fall Academic Team.
In the summer of 2011 Bugariu worked with the Carolina Cobras of the W-League, serving as the inaugural coach of the new professional women's soccer franchise. Although he was able to lead them to their first-ever win, the purpose of the job was to develop the playing and coaching staff and create a competitive team for the future, paving the way for his longtime assistant, Sandy Burris, to take over after his initial stint with the team.
Bugariu’s recruiting stayed strong, as TopDrawerSocer.com recognized his 2011 class as a “Killer Class.” Bugariu also has extensive international recruiting experience, landing two Under 20 Mexican National Team players, as well as senior national team players from Guatemala, Trinidad and Tobago, the Bahamas, Antigua and Guam during his time at SC State.
Bugariu also served as a head coach at Meredith College during the 2000 season and the men’s soccer assistant coach at Louisburg Junior College during the 1998 and 1999 seasons. In addition, Bugariu has established an outstanding legacy in club and the Olympic Development Program (ODP), serving as the Director of Coaching for the Northern Soccer Club in Santa Fe, N.M. (Jan. 2003-Aug. 2005) while also working as head coach of the ’88 NM ODP Girls team, and later as the Director of Goalkeeping for the New Mexico Youth Soccer Association. He has also been on the ODP staff in North and South Carolina and has worked on the state coaching education instructional staff and as an NSCAA Regional Staff Coach.
The Bulldogs continued to maintain their new status as a solid NCAA DI program during the 2011 and 2012 seasons, advancing to the conference tournament semifinals each year, while also registering two of the four highest winning percentages in program history. The program also continued to improve on their national GPA ranking during this time, finishing sixth in 2011 and second in 2012. The 2011 squad had 13 student-athletes earn GWC Fall Academic honors, while 16 student-athletes were honored in 2012.
Overall, in nine seasons as a head coach, Bugariu has a career record of 98-67-12 (.554). He has won six regular or tournament championships in the past eight years. He is renowned for taking over struggling programs and quickly improving them, having been twice recognized in the top 10 of the NCAA “Most Improved Team” category at both the NCAA Division I and II levels.
Before taking over at SCSU, Bugariu led NCAA Division II Belmont Abbey College for three seasons in Belmont, N.C., going 52-12-2, including a 30-2-1 mark in Conference Carolinas (previously Carolinas-Virginia Athletic Conference (CVAC)) play. In 2007, the Crusaders finished 18-4-1 while going undefeated in the conference at 11-0. They broke numerous conference records, including most shutouts in a season (10), least goals allowed (one), and lowest goals against average (0.09). The Crusaders finished fourth in the region, had the third best defense in the country (nine goals allowed), and achieved a national ranking as high as No. 22. Individual awards included five players earning First-Team AllConference honors and three gathering All-Region honors.
Born in Bucharest, Romania, Bugariu came to the United States at the age of 10 and has since earned his citizenship and holds a degree in Recreation and Leisure Administration from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He earned his master's in sports science from the United States Sports Academy. He was an All-Region goalkeeper at Brevard College in N.C. and had a stint with the Romanian fourth division club, Soimii Sibiu, before playing for the C.D. Chapel Hill Dragons.
In 2006, the Crusaders finished 16-4-1, won the CVAC tournament, and advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament. It was the first time a Belmont Abbey coach had led the

Glad Bugariu
Head Coach th
Date Named: 4/26/13 • Head Coaching Experience: 10 Season • Birthdate: 9/29/76 The first women’s soccer head coach in program history, Glad Bugariu immediately made history with the Broncs, as they went 8-9-4, tying for the ninth most wins by a first year NCAA Division I program in the state of Texas. Additionally, the Broncs tied for the third best 11-match start in Texas history by going 7-1-3. In fact, the Broncs remained undefeated through their first six matches (4-0-2), making them just the third inaugural program in Texas to do that. The Broncs won their first match on the road, 2-0 at Southern, their first match at home, 2-1 over Huston-Tillotson, their first WAC match, 3-1 over New Mexico State, and their first match in the brand new UTPA Soccer and Track & Field Complex, 3-0 over Chicago State. Bugariu’s team, which featured 16 true freshmen, one sophomore and one junior among those who played, racked up the honors, as Andreya Barrera earned Madness WAC Freshman of the Year and Madness All-WAC Second Team honors, freshman Aimie Inthoulay earned Madness All-WAC Second Team and a WAC Offensiver Player of the Week award, freshman Hanna Spets earned a WAC Offensiver Player of the Week award, and freshman Aubrie Coley earned three WAC Defensiver Player of the Week awards in net.
program to back-to-back conference championships. Additionally, two players were named to the NSCAA All-Region team, while four earned All-CVAC recognition. In 2005, his first season with the Crusaders, Bugariu guided the team to an 18-4 record, their best finish since 1999. The Crusaders captured the CVAC Tournament Title and a share of the regular season. They also finished fifth in the regional poll. Other accolades earned in the 2005 season include being ranked as the second most improved team in the nation by the NCAA, th finishing 11 in the country in shutouts, defeating the No. 3 and No. 10 ranked teams in the nation, and having two players earn NSCAA All-Region honors. In addition to his collegiate coaching experience, Bugariu has worked at the professional and international level in the CONCACAF region, both on the men’s and women’s side. In 2004, he was named the assistant national team coach of Grenada, engaging in qualifying for the 2006 World Cup. There, the team reached the second round of World Cup qualifying, narrowly losing to the United States, in addition to advancing from the "Group of Death" during Gold Cup qualifying. These achievements resulted in a 13-place rise in the FIFA rankings, the most significant advancement in the history of the country. From a developmental standpoint, Bugariu created the Grenada National Goalkeeper Development Program and the goalkeeper coach education curriculum.
Before coming to UTPA, Bugariu spent five seasons as the head coach at South Carolina State University, where he is the winningest coach in the program history. After taking over a team with the lowest RPI in NCAA DI women’s soccer and just nine studentathletes on the roster in 2008, Bugariu used his first recruiting class, which included 15 freshmen among the 16 newcomers, to completely revamp the program. The Bulldogs went 107-3 in 2009, the first winning season in program history, and tied for second place in the Great West Conference (GWC) East Division, their best finish ever. While eight statistical records th were broken, the 2009 team finished ranked 30 in the country in scoring, and also recorded the highest RPI increase and final ranking in their history. The team also had five student-athletes earn All-Conference honors and won more games that season then the program had in the previous four.
In 2000, at only 25 years of age, he was named Technical Director of the U.S. Virgin Islands, a country with a population of only 108,000 people. Bugariu was responsible for the development of the game in the country, creating programs that resulted in a 120 percent rise in soccer participation, in addition to creating national teams at every level. International headlines were made with the formation of a women's program at both senior and Under 19 levels for the first time in the history of the country. Both teams had significant success, with the senior women's national team reaching the second round of World Cup qualifying in the CONCACAF region. Additionally, he was in charge of all national teams, concentrating on the youth programs. Using mostly players under the age of 20 for all senior national team games, Bugariu achieved the first-ever rise in the men's FIFA Rankings for the U.S. Virgin Islands.
th
The 2010 season was the most successful in program history. Ranked 19 in the NCAA in scoring, the Bulldogs finished 13-6-1 and undefeated in the GWC East Division. Six Bulldogs earned All-Conference honors, former Mexican National Team player Briana Lopez was named Freshman of the Year, and Bugariu was named Coach of the Year. In total, 16 Bulldogs earned All-Conference honors in five years under Bugariu’s direction, including Alejandra Chirnio, the first player in program history to sign a professional contract, doing so with the Carolina Elite Cobras of the W-League.
Having coached in over 30 international matches against nations such as the United States, Trinidad and Tobago, Haiti, Surinam, Puerto Rico, Antigua, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Bahamas, Monserrat, and Guyana, among others, Bugariu also holds foreign and domestic coaching licenses, including the USSF “A” license, UEFA “B” license, NSCAA “Premier” Diploma, USSF “Youth” License, and the FIFA “Sports Medicine” Certificate.
While highly successful on the field, 2010 also contained significant academic achievements, as the team finished with the seventh highest GPA out of 321 NCAA Division I teams, as ranked by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA). The accolades did not stop there, as the Bulldogs also captured their first ever NSCAA Team Academic Award while also having 12 student-athletes named to the Great West Conference Fall Academic Team.
In the summer of 2011 Bugariu worked with the Carolina Cobras of the W-League, serving as the inaugural coach of the new professional women's soccer franchise. Although he was able to lead them to their first-ever win, the purpose of the job was to develop the playing and coaching staff and create a competitive team for the future, paving the way for his longtime assistant, Sandy Burris, to take over after his initial stint with the team.
Bugariu’s recruiting stayed strong, as TopDrawerSocer.com recognized his 2011 class as a “Killer Class.” Bugariu also has extensive international recruiting experience, landing two Under 20 Mexican National Team players, as well as senior national team players from Guatemala, Trinidad and Tobago, the Bahamas, Antigua and Guam during his time at SC State.
Bugariu also served as a head coach at Meredith College during the 2000 season and the men’s soccer assistant coach at Louisburg Junior College during the 1998 and 1999 seasons. In addition, Bugariu has established an outstanding legacy in club and the Olympic Development Program (ODP), serving as the Director of Coaching for the Northern Soccer Club in Santa Fe, N.M. (Jan. 2003-Aug. 2005) while also working as head coach of the ’88 NM ODP Girls team, and later as the Director of Goalkeeping for the New Mexico Youth Soccer Association. He has also been on the ODP staff in North and South Carolina and has worked on the state coaching education instructional staff and as an NSCAA Regional Staff Coach.
The Bulldogs continued to maintain their new status as a solid NCAA DI program during the 2011 and 2012 seasons, advancing to the conference tournament semifinals each year, while also registering two of the four highest winning percentages in program history. The program also continued to improve on their national GPA ranking during this time, finishing sixth in 2011 and second in 2012. The 2011 squad had 13 student-athletes earn GWC Fall Academic honors, while 16 student-athletes were honored in 2012.
Overall, in nine seasons as a head coach, Bugariu has a career record of 98-67-12 (.554). He has won six regular or tournament championships in the past eight years. He is renowned for taking over struggling programs and quickly improving them, having been twice recognized in the top 10 of the NCAA “Most Improved Team” category at both the NCAA Division I and II levels.
Before taking over at SCSU, Bugariu led NCAA Division II Belmont Abbey College for three seasons in Belmont, N.C., going 52-12-2, including a 30-2-1 mark in Conference Carolinas (previously Carolinas-Virginia Athletic Conference (CVAC)) play. In 2007, the Crusaders finished 18-4-1 while going undefeated in the conference at 11-0. They broke numerous conference records, including most shutouts in a season (10), least goals allowed (one), and lowest goals against average (0.09). The Crusaders finished fourth in the region, had the third best defense in the country (nine goals allowed), and achieved a national ranking as high as No. 22. Individual awards included five players earning First-Team AllConference honors and three gathering All-Region honors.
Born in Bucharest, Romania, Bugariu came to the United States at the age of 10 and has since earned his citizenship and holds a degree in Recreation and Leisure Administration from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He earned his master's in sports science from the United States Sports Academy. He was an All-Region goalkeeper at Brevard College in N.C. and had a stint with the Romanian fourth division club, Soimii Sibiu, before playing for the C.D. Chapel Hill Dragons.
In 2006, the Crusaders finished 16-4-1, won the CVAC tournament, and advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament. It was the first time a Belmont Abbey coach had led the
