Ronnie Hreha
- Title:
- Assistant Coach/Goalkeeper Coach
Hreha enters his fourth season as a member of the Bulldog coaching staff in 2025.Â
Hreha saw more success from Farrar in 2024, as he was named to the All-Conference First Team and Big South Conference Goalkeeper for the second consecutive year. Farrar helped the Bulldogs to a Division I era program record six shutouts in 2024, while becoming the first Big South Conference Men's Soccer player to earn four Player of the Week honors in a single season and the first player in conference history to earn five straight Player of the Week honors.Â
Hreha coached Charlie Farrar in 2023, who was the first-ever Bulldog to be named Big South Conference Goalkeeper of the Year.Â
Hreha is no stranger to Asheville having worked with Coach Giordano most recently at Asheville City SC during the 2019 season. He was instrumental in helping ACSC reach their first Conference Final while enjoying the best season to date. In addition to his work with the goalkeepers, Hreha worked as the Sports Performance Coach for the Men's First Team.
"I am unbelievably excited to be a part of a collegiate soccer program again," said Hreha. "Especially one that I grew up watching. It is unfortunate that we will not have any games this fall, but I look forward to working with a great staff to get the players ready for a successful spring season."
"I am beyond thrilled to be working with Ronnie again," Giordano said of Hreha. "He continues to demonstrate he is one of the best around in his field. The wealth of knowledge he brings from working with Coach O'Keefe at Appalachian State, his time spent with the US Youth National teams, and experiences from Asheville City SC will help our group continue to take steps forward. Our goalkeepers and defenders will be able to continue their growth with Ronnie on staff. Ronnie was instrumental to our success at Asheville City SC, and I have no doubt he will do the same here at UNC Asheville."
