Baruch College Athletics

As head coach of both the Baruch men's and women's tennis teams, he has compiled a record of success rivaled only by the star power of his client list.

He has been named the 2004, 2008 and 2012 City University of New York Athletic Conference (CUNYAC) Men's Tennis Coach of the Year for leading his young student-athletes to championship seasons.

His men's team have won the CUNYAC Championships in 2000, 2002, and 2004 through 2009 in dominant fashion. They repeated as champions again from 2012 to 2014 and reached the second round of the NCAA Tournament in two of those years.

In addition, with the men winning the 2007 championship, they earned CUNYAC's first-ever berth to the NCAA Tournament. They made the most of their first NCAA appearance by defeating Alvernia, 5-4, in a first round thriller played on the campus of Swarthmore College.   

He was named the CUNYAC Women's Tennis Coach of the Year in 2015, and led the Bearcats to their first  CUNYAC Championship since 1997, with an undefeated fall season record of 13-0.

In all, Florin has won a total of 13 CUNYAC championships (11 men, 2 women) at Baruch College.

The success of the program has not only been on the court, but in the classroom as well, as a large number of his student-athletes have been named CUNYAC Scholar-Athletes. The 2006 women's tennis team also featured a cumulative GPA of 3.44, and # 1 singles player Kateryna Pylypyshyna (3.98 GPA) was twice named to the ESPN The Magazine District I - College Division All-Academic Second Team.

Giuglescu first came to Baruch in 1978, taking the reins of the men's tennis program until 1987. From 1980 to 1993, he was the sports director at Premier Vertical Club, where he worked with two former NCAA #1 players (Bill Scanlon #9 world, Tim Mayotte #8 world). He returned to Baruch in fall of 1996 to coach both the women's and men's teams.
