Louisiana Tech soccer head coach Steve Voltz announced the hire of Stephanie Starr as the Bulldogs assistant coach.

Starr was a graduate assistant at Midwestern State University and was in charge of coaching goalkeepers. She finished her collegiate career in 2021 after playing two seasons at North Texas (2020-21) and Florida Gulf Coast (2018-19).

"I am thrilled to join the LA Tech coaching staff this spring. I am appreciative of Coach Voltz for the opportunity, and I look forward to contributing to this team's success both on and off the pitch," Starr stated. 

Starr earned a Conference USA Academic Medal in 2020 at UNT and was named to the C-USA Commissioner's Honor Roll in 2021.

"Stephanie will be great for our GKs and our team," said Voltz. "She has experience on and off the field, brings a very competitive personality to our program, and will have an opportunity to make an immediate impact. I am thrilled she is joining us in the spring to build a strong relationship with our team and GKs going into the fall."
