In 2024, Solberg enters his first season as the head coach at Gardner-Webb after four seasons as the head coach at the University of Arkansas Pine-Bluff (UAPB).
At UAPB (2020-2023), Solberg steadied a program after being named the Golden Lions sixth different head coach in an eight-year span. By his third season in Pine Bluff, Solberg led UAPB to a 9-11 overall record, its best season since 2016, and a 4-4-1 conference record, the programs best record in Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) play since 2015. The 2022 season opened with a 1-0 victory over Arkansas State University, the programs first win over a Division I foe outside of conference play since 2011.
In 2023, the Golden Lions again finished with nine wins, completing the programs best two-year stretch since 2010-2011. This past season, Solbergs Golden Lions led the SWAC in scoring, finishing 18th-nationally in total goals (49) and 20th-nationally in goals per game (2.33).

With head coaching experience at all levels, Glad Bugariu enters his third year as head coach at UMO.
Bugariu comes to UMO following a short stint with USL W-league club Wake Futbol Club, where he led the first-year franchise to a winning record and a third-place finish in the South Atlantic Division. The W-league is one tier below the National Womens Soccer League (NWSL), the top professional female soccer league in the United States.
A native of Bucharest, Romania, Bugariu brings over 20 years of coaching experience at all levels of the game and an overall career NCAA coaching record of 162-137-32, including a 70-47-2 in conference play, with five regular season or conference tournament championships at both the NCAA Division I and Division II levels.
He is very familiar with the Conference Carolinas, having captured two regular season championships and two tournament championships during his three seasons at the helm of the Belmont Abbey womens soccer program, in addition to being recognized in the top 3 of the 2005 NCAA Most Improved Team statistics and still holding the current conference record for least goals allowed in a season (1).
His most recent NCAA coaching experience was at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV), a Division I team competing in the Western Athletic Conference (WAC). Having started the program from scratch in 2014, Bugariu led UTRGV to a second-place finish in the WAC in 2018 and helped the program reach the semifinals of the WAC Tournament for the fifth consecutive time while finishing with an overall record of 12-6-3 and registering a victory over the University of Miami of the ACC.
As the first womens soccer head coach in program history, Glad Bugariu made an immediate impact, leading the team to five winning seasons in eight years of existence, with multiple seasons containing double digits wins.
While the spring of 2021 was different for everyone, Bugariu maintained his excellence as he brought in 16 new players, 13 of them freshmen, and still guided the program to its third double-digit win season. Bugariu led the Vaqueros to a program-best 8-2 record away from the UTRGV Soccer and Track & Field Complex on their way to a seventh straight appearance in the WAC Tournament.
Bugariu also continued to prove that his defense is one of the best in the WAC as the Vaqueros allowed just 18 goals in 2021, which was the second-fewest in the WAC, while also recording seven shutouts on the season.
In 2019, Bugarius defense continued to be a staple of the program allowing the WACs third-fewest goals while posting the second most shutouts in the WAC with nine. Behind its defense, the Vaqueros posted a 7-3-1 record at home proving the UTRGV Soccer and Track & Field Complex was an impenetrable fortress in recent years.
Bugariu guided the program to its sixth straight WAC Tournament appearance while advancing to the semifinals for the second year in a row. Bugariu helped four players to All-WAC honors as seniors Sarah Bonney, Kinga Szemik, junior Gina Steiner, and sophomore Emily Zapata were selected to the All-WAC Second Team.
In 2017, UTRGV not only posted a winning record for the second year in a row, but a winning record in WAC play for the first time (4-2-1), finishing a program-best third place. UTRGVs only loss came on the road by one goal to the eventual WAC Champions. UTRGV played defending WAC Champion Seattle U to a draw on the road. The defense was a strong spot for UTRGV, which went on a 441:32 shutout streak at the start of WAC play and finished the season with a goals-against-average of 0.95.
The 2016 season saw UTRGV lead the NCAA in shots on goal per match (9.11) while ranking eighth in shots per match (18.11), 27th in goals per match (2.05), 35th in points per match (5.84), 38th in goals against average (0.915), 42nd in total goals (39), 44th in assists per match (1.74), 46th in total points (111), 57th in total assists (33) and 68th in shutout percentage (.421).
UTRGV set program records for margin of victory and goals scored in an 11-0 win at Hampton. UTRGV also set new program records in shots (43) and shots on goal (28) while holding Hampton to one shot, which was on goal. Bonney burst onto the scene during this game, notching the first 12 points of her career and becoming the 30th player in NCAA history to score at least 12 points in a match. The effort helped Bonney earn the programs first National Player of the Week award.
UTRGV also qualified for the WAC Tournament for the third year in a row.
Bugarius success extends beyond the playing field, as his team won the United Soccer Coaches Team Academic Award every single season since 2015.
Bugariu started making history the moment he was hired, as the team went 8-9-4 in 2014, tying for the ninth most wins by a first-year NCAA Division I program in the state of Texas. Bugariu and the team road that momentum into their second season of existence, as UTRGV qualified for the WAC Tournament for the second year in a row, while also increasing the total number of conference wins by 50 percent.
Additionally, Bugariu was invited to work with the Women's National Team of St. Vincent and the Grenadines during the spring of 2015 and was instrumental in their preparation and success in winning the Windward Islands Football Championship. He continued as a technical advisor and national staff coach for the federation in 2016, a position that assisted in further developing the program.
During Bugariu's inaugural season, the team tied for the third-best 11-match start in Texas history by going 7-1-3. The team remained undefeated through its first six matches (4-0-2), making it just the third inaugural program in Texas to accomplish that feat. The team won its first match on the road, 2-0 at Southern, its first match at home, 2-1 over Huston-Tillotson, its first WAC match, 3-1 over New Mexico State, and its first match in the then-brand-new Soccer and Track & Field Complex, 3-0 over Chicago State. Bugarius 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 Offensive Player of the Week award, freshman Hanna Spets earned a WAC Offensive Player of the Week award and freshman Aubrie Coley earned three WAC Defensive Player of the Week awards in the net.
Before coming here, Bugariu spent five seasons as the head coach at South Carolina State University, where he is the winningest coach in the programs history and captured a conference title in 2010, while also named coach of the year.
In addition to his collegiate coaching experience, Bugariu has worked at the professional and international level in the CONCACAF region, both on the mens and womens sides. In 2019 he served as head coach of the Under 15 Womens National Team of Moldova and led them to the AFC/UEFA U15 Development Tournament Championship. 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.
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.
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 A license, NSCAA Premier Diploma, USSF Youth License, and the FIFA Sports Medicine Certificate.
In the summer of 2011, Bugariu worked with 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 also served as a head coach at Meredith College during the 2000 season and the mens 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, New Mexico (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.
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.

Player
I loved that I was able to communicate and work with a variety of different coaches. It was an eye opening experience and I was surprised how sociable I was with the other girls at the camp, because I am usually shy and don't want to talk to people. Thank you and two thumbs up to you for getting me out of my shell.
Parent
I was impressed with the overall flow and their ability to adapt to adverse scheduling conflicts from the facility. This is a great opportunity for my daughter to see beyond the club and school soccer, and the annoying reminding from us. It helps keep her motivated and going in the direction she wants to go with this sport. We'll definitely return to future camps. I as a parent was able to network with parents of older girls as well which helps me greatly in the posit of my daughters goals.
Player
I was very satisfied with the program and how it was run. Being new to these types of experiences and camps, I was happy to see how the staff was kind and helpful to all the athletes. I know that in the future if an opportunity like this swings around the corner I will have no trouble snatching it. I had an amazing time at this camp and hope it happens again. Thank you to all for hosting it. Also having celebrity's host a camp like this one makes it very special to a lot of the athletes.

EXACT is a very good way to promote yourself if you are wanting to play at the next level. The most inspiring thing about EXACT is that they want everyone to believe in themselves, which goes a long way when you are trying to be your best.
The camp was very well run, and it is essential that everyone try to go to at least one EXACT camp while they still have the opportunity.

My EXACT camp experience was great. It was a wonderful learning experience in the perfect environment. The coaches and the EXACT staff made sure we focused on not only our skills and abilities that are crucial, but they also really focused on mental aspect of the game as well and I really enjoyed that.

I went to the first ID Camp in Philly. We were so encouraged that we attended this one in DC. I have always dreamed about 1) going to college and 2) playing soccer in college. I got to meet a lot of great coaches and athletes. I learned something new at each camp. I wish there were more camps close to me so we could attend more. I am a senior and need all the help I can get in hopes to find the right college. I loved how the coaches were there to help us and give us directions on the spot. My mentor Coach was Mike Eckberg. Towson is on my "dream" list - and we are now going to schedule a visit as he suggested. I am so excited and I know I still have a long road ahead, but every journey has a beginning. Even though I am getting started a little late, I feel like EXACT really has helped me come flying out of the gate!
Player
I loved the environment of the EXACT camp. It's so different from other camps because it takes into account the mental aspect of the game instead of just the physical aspect. The environment was friendly and welcome, and this camp gave me a giant boost of confidence whether for striking up a conversation with a college coach or just on the field. It was very informative and I feel like I'm on the right track for being recruited at a college that is the right fit for me. Thank you!

My daughter had a great time. The coaches were professional and very approachable. The question and answer panel with the coaches was informative. There was more interaction between the players and coaches than I expected from attending other "camps". The coaches really made an effort to be available when not on the field. I would highly recommend this experience to others. Soccer players can never get enough exposure for a reasonable price, nor can they gain enough experience playing with girls that are unknown to them.
Player
EXACT offers a great experience that blends on field training in a college atmosphere with off field soft skills needed to help become a better candidate for recruitment. The coaches provide excellent, real world feedback to parents and athletes on what and what not to do. Overall its a great experience that provides insight that will serve the players and the parents well during the recruiting period.
Player
The staff, the players, and the coaches that were apart of this camp were such genuine and caring people that I really felt welcome when I stepped on the field. Also, it was just a really fun experience where I had the chance to interact with fellow soccer lovers and I learned so much. I have to give it 10 out of 10 soccer balls.
This is one of the first times I've had the opportunity to interact so closely with college coaches and it really opened up my eyes not only to the opportunities that are available to me, but also the personalities of these coaches. They truly care about the improvement and development of their players and it's so wonderful spending time with such professional and involved people.

I really appreciated the atmosphere that EXACT Sports Elite Camp provided. Everyone was included in any drill or game we were doing. It was an awesome experience to meet girls I've never seen before early in the morning, practice drills and techniques with them, and play with them/against them later in the same day. It is very different than practicing with the same team every day, every year. It was an experience to go out on a field with complete strangers and interact with them on the field. I also loved the number of college coaches who were at the camp. Especially at my young age, I haven't yet focused on one or two schools yet, so having a wide variety coaches from different schools and levels was exactly what I needed and was looking for.
Player
The EXACT Camp was really informative and challenging. The coaches were very honest and gave me some really good information and tips, which I really enjoyed it.
Overall, it was an excellent camp experience, wish I lived in America to visit more ID camps, coaches gave me much more coaching and training then my own coaches, so it was good to see that I can pick it up a bit to improve my overall performances. I have gone MENTALLLLL!!!!!!!
Player
I was actually so nervous going into the camp, but once I got the to camp all of my nervousness went away. The coaches were all very nice and the camp was a comfortable place with everyone being very supportive. Not only was it enjoyable, I was able to talk to the coaches one-on-one, and get honest and thoughtful feedback to improve my athletic abilities and talents.
Before attending the EXACT Camp, I was very uneducated about college soccer and didn't have a set school I was interested in, but this camp helped me have a better understanding of what to look for in the future.
Player
I had a great experience at the Chicago EXACT Soccer Camp. The one-on-one conversations with coaches was invaluable as was the overall coaching I received during training and games throughout the weekend. I plan to be back next year! On a side note please share with your staff how great they were when I went down with an injury on Sunday...torn ACL and surgery in my very near future, but having had the opportunity to showcase myself and meet the coaches and staff was the best experience I have ever had at any camp so far and I WILL be back next year.

I have been playing soccer since I was five years old. I am now 13 years old and I continue to love playing soccer, but lately I have been struggling. I had lost confidence in myself and I was always afraid to make mistakes which as a result I stopped taking risks and challenging myself. But, after attending EXACT Camp for just one day I was able to learn a lot of things. I learned that it is OK to take risks and just because I am a smaller player than other athletes does not mean I am not a strong player. EXACT Sports helped me get my confidence back and to be a more vocal player. I learned valuable lessons that I can take with me on and off the field. I learned so much in just one day. I wish the camp was all week long. Thank you again!
P.S. I already started looking into colleges.
