Jim Barlow enters his second season in 2012 as assistant to head coach Isabelle Harvey in the Cal Poly Pomona women’s soccer program.

The 2011 campaign, Barlow's first year at CPP, proved to be one of the best in the recent history of the program as the Broncos went 8-6-4 overall and 6-6-4 in conference play. CPP opened the year 4-0-1, a stretch that included wins over PacWest challenger Grand Canyon and local rival Cal State San Bernardino. Four Broncos received All-California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) accolades while Angela Garcia and Jennifer Rivera were named to the All-West Region team.

Prior to joining the Broncos, Barlow served as the men’s soccer head coach at Embry-Riddle in Prescott, Ariz., from 2004 through 2010.

Having been involved with soccer for over 30 years at the club, high school and junior college level, Barlow has collected more than 350 wins as a head coach. 

He took the reins of the Embry-Riddle Eagles before their first competitive National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) season in 2004. Barlow then led the squad to steady improvement, finishing at 8-7-3 in 2009 and qualifying for playoffs for the first time in program history. 

Attaining four-straight winning seasons while receiving votes for the Top 20 two years in a row, the Eagles gained the respect of the traditional NAIA powers and cemented their place as a leader in the Association of Independent Institutions Conference (AII). 

The team garnered seven-straight Team Academic Awards and finished 2009 with a team grade point average of 3.43. In addition to setting and establishing every on field record, ERAU produced 24 Academic All-Americans during Barlow’s time with the Eagles. 

Barlow holds a "B" coaching license from the United States Soccer Federation and a National Diploma from the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA). He will continue to focus on recruiting athletically talented and academically motivated student-athletes to continue the rise of the women's soccer program.
