Jacksonville women's soccer head coach Ryan Moon announced this week that Gary Ogilvie will assume the role of associate head coach of the women's program here at JU. Ogilvie joins the Dolphins after spending the previous four seasons at the University of Charleston. For the Golden Eagles, he spent three seasons as an assistant coach for the men's program before assuming the role as head coach of the women's program this past season.

A native of the United Kingdom, Ogilvie guided the women's program at Charleston to an 18-1-3 record a season after the team finished 10-10. His successful campaign included both a regular and tournament conference championship in the Mountain East Conference, and the 18 wins marked the best in school history. His squad also clinched the program's first No. 1 Regional Ranking and hosted games for the NCAA Tournament. His only loss of the season came in the Regional round of the NCAA Tournament.

Having joined as an assistant at Charleston in the autumn of 2020, Ogilvie has played a pivotal role in steering the Men's team to impressive achievements, including a National Runner-Up title, a Super-Regional Championship, four Mountain East Conference Tournament Championships, and three MEC Regular Season Championships. His remarkable journey unfolded with an outstanding overall record of 49-4-3.

Beyond his contributions at the collegiate level, Ogilvie took on the role of Head Coach for the USL2 team, West Virginia United. In his inaugural season, he led United to their third playoff appearance in history, setting a club record with 10 wins in a single season.

Before his tenure in the capital, Ogilvie spent a year at Snow College, where he served as both Men's and Women's Assistant Coach and took on the role of Interim Head Coach for both programs.

Ogilvie's soccer journey extends beyond the United States. He played in the ISPS Handa Premiership in New Zealand for Canterbury United and served as the Canterbury United Youth Coach and Football Development Officer for Mainland Football. Before his New Zealand venture, Ogilvie spent two years in England playing for Concord Rangers in the National League South.

A graduate of the Florida Institute of Technology in 2013 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Sports Management, Ogilvie showcased his skills on the field during his two seasons at Florida Tech, earning a spot in 2 x Regional First Team squads and receiving an All-American Honorable Mention.

Not just limited to playing and coaching, Ogilvie holds an NZF/OFC B-License and capped off his academic journey with a Master of Science in Strategic Leadership from the University of Charleston in December 2021.
