SUNY-New Paltz Women's Tennis

Bruley has led the State University of New York at New Paltz womens tennis program to unprecedented success as a dominant force in the State University of New York Athletic Conference (SUNYAC) since taking the reins in 1998. Bruley, who begins his 19th season in 2016-17, has created a winning tradition, leading the team to a 177-101 record over 18 seasons. Under his stewardship, the Hawks have finished first or second at the SUNYAC Championships for 14 consecutive years. New Paltz has made three appearances in the NCAA Tournament (2007, 2008 and 2011) and has won four SUNYAC titles (2002, 2006, 2007 and 2010) with Bruley at the controls. He is a four-time SUNYAC Coach of the Year, gaining the recognition in 2002, 2004, 2006 and, most recently, in 2010. He also guided his team to three consecutive appearances in the New York State Womens Collegiate Athletic Association (NYSWCAA) Tournament.  Under Bruleys guidance, five student-athletes have won the Peter J. Cahill Award (Dana Lim, 2008; Stephanie Schara, 2010; Montana Wilson, 2012; Paige Munroe, 2013 and Olivia Ammirati, 2015), awarded annually to the SUNYAC's Player of the Year in women's tennis. In addition, Bruley has placed 32 student-athletes on the All-SUNYAC teams. His student-athletes have also excelled in the classroom, as he has coached the SUNY Chancellor Scholar-Athlete four times in Paige Munroe (2012), Kerri Serkes (2007 and 2008) and Rebecca Sparacin (2003).  The Hawks have established themselves as one of the top tennis programs in the Northeast under Bruleys watch. New Paltz consistently placed individuals and doubles teams into the semifinals and finals of the SUNYAC Tournament before the competition went to a team format in 2011-12, producing 21 singles and eight doubles champions. From the beginning of his tenure as head coach, Bruley has developed a reputation for taking young, raw talent and producing talented tennis players by the ends of their careers. He has also shown he can turn a group of talented student-athletes into one of the most competitive and respected teams in the SUNYAC. A native of England, Bruley was a standout athlete in soccer, squash and tennis. His time as an athlete and a coach at the international level includes five years with the Corinthian Casuals Soccer Club. He has also been the head mens and womens squash coach at Bard College and spends his summers coaching at the Lake Placid Soccer Center.  Contact Rob Bruley at ext. 3931 or   Rob Bruley Head Women's Tennis Coach Head coach Rob Bruley has led the State University of New York at New Paltz womens tennis program to unprecedented success as a dominant force in the State University of New York Athletic Conference (SUNYAC) since taking the reins in 1998.
