Louisiana Tech soccer head coach Steve Voltz has been signed to a contract extension, the school announced Friday.
Voltz has spent the last three seasons at the helm of the Bulldog Soccer program, helping guide the team to back-to-back appearances in the Conference USA Tournament. LA Tech hosted the championship at Robert Mack Caruthers Field this past season, advancing to the semifinals for the first time since 2018.
“It is such a privilege and thrill to continue to lead the women’s soccer program at LA Tech,” said Voltz. “I am grateful to the administration for placing their trust in me and our vision for the program. All this would not be possible without an amazing staff and a group of student-athletes, as well as recruits that share our passion for LA Tech soccer.”
Under Voltz’ leadership, LA Tech has produced seven All-CUSA selections, including three this past season in Kyra Taylor, Josie Studer, and Lauren Egbuloniu. The Bulldogs have also garnered back-to-back CUSA Freshman of the Year honorees. Last season, Taylor was the recipient of the award after tying the freshman record for most goals with nine.
Off the field, LA Tech has had seven Academic All-District selections and five CUSA All-Academic selections with Voltz as head coach.
Voltz came to Ruston in 2020 and served as the lead assistant coach during the split 2020-21 campaign before serving as interim head coach during the 2021 season. After wrapping the 2021 season, the interim tag was removed.
