During her four-year tenure as head coach, she built the Gators into a softball powerhouse, amassing an overall record of 123-39 between 1987-90. After going 26-11 in 1987, the Gators had their finest season in team history in 1988, finishing 38-5, winning the regional championship, and advancing to the finals of the NCAA Division III World Series, where they finished runner-up. Gulas was named NCAA Division III National Coach of the Year after the season. She would lead the Gators to regional titles and the World Series again in both 1989 and 1990, racking up a 49-20 record over the two seasons combined.
After departing Allegheny following the 1990 season, Gulas would spend five seasons as head coach at Wittenberg University, before wrapping up her career with a 21-year stint at Ashland University, where she would guide the Eagles to 723 wins, 12 trips to the NCAA Division II playoffs, and five conference titles.
