Since taking over the head coaching duties at Santa Clara in the spring of 1987, Smith has built the Bronco soccer program into a national power. Overall, the Broncos have been to the NCAA Tournament 26 times, the College Cup 10 times, and won the 2001 national championship. In 2016 the team advanced to the national semifinals.
