Jaime Pagliarulo starts her third season on the soccer staff at Arizona State University where she will be responsible for goalkeeper training along with other administrative duties.
During her time in Tempe, Pagliarulo has worked with Kim Bingham as she has moved up the charts in several season and career categories, including second in all-time saves and third in career shutouts. In that same span of time, the Sun Devil keepers have held their opponents to a 1.31 goals against average and 10 shutouts.
Prior to arriving in Tempe, Pagliarulo played goalkeeper for three seasons for the WUSA's San Diego Spirit. A sixth round pick, she earned the reputation for making big saves with a dramatic flair during the 2001 season and held the club record with 232 consecutive shutout minutes. In 2002, Pagliarulo was plagued by nagging injuries all season long, but still started a team-high 15 games. Before playing for the Sprit, she was a member of the W-League's Maryland Pride.
On the international scene, Pagliarulo had extensive time on various U.S. National Teams. In 2002, she traveled to China for the Four Nations Tournament and in 2001 posted two of her three caps with the full national team, earned against Canada and China. Her first cap came against South Korea on the NIKE Victory 1997 in St. Charles, Ill. Pagliarulo has also been a member of the U.S. Under-21 National Team pool from 1993-97 and played in two U-21 Nordic Cups in Germany and Sweden.
A standout player at George Mason University, Pagliarulo was a three-time All-American. As a junior in 1997, she set a George Mason record for saves in a season with 123 and minutes played with 2,162. In the second round of the NCAA tournament, she set a school record with 20 saves. As a senior, she recorded a career-high 7.25 shutouts while recording 67 saves and allowing only 17 goals -- the fewest in the Colonial Athletic Association.
Pagliarulo, a native of Hershey, Pa., graduated with a degree in physical education from George Mason in 2000. She enjoys working with her U-13 girl's team and the Rohi School/Orphanage in Nakune, Kenya.
