Steve Voltz enters his fifth season as head coach of the Louisiana Tech women's soccer program in 2025.

Voltz led the Bulldogs to consecutive CUSA tournament appearances in 2022 and 2023, with the 2022 season being the first time making the postseason since 2019. It was also the first time LA Tech made consecutive conference tournaments since 2019 capped off six-straight appearances that started in 2014. 

The Bulldogs were able to qualify for the tournament thanks to back-to-back victories, a 2-0 home shutout over Middle Tennessee followed by a 2-1 victory at FIU, handing the Panthers their lone home loss of the season. The team would go on to host the CUSA Women's Soccer Championship for the first time in program history, advancing to the semifinals after a 1-0 shutout against WKU. It marked the first time since 2018 that LA Tech made it to the semifinals.

Three Bulldogs would earn All-CUSA honors, including Kyra Taylor and Josie Studer who were both named First Team. For a second straight season, Voltz coached the CUSA Freshman of the Year with Taylor taking home the honor. For Studer, she became the first Bulldog in program history to be a four-time all-conference selection.

Voltz also led the Bulldogs to the CUSA Tournament in 2022 despite a year that plagued the team with numerous injuries. His leadership guided LA Tech to a 7-9-3 season record and a 5-3-2 league record, which was the most conference wins and highest standing since 2017, and included a five-game unbeaten streak (four wins in a row) to close out the regular season slate.

Flavie Dube became the program's first conference Freshman of the Year while also picking up All-Freshman Team and Second-Team All-Conference honors. Captains Josie Studer and Emma Jones were named Second-Team and Third-Team, respectively. 

A week after wrapping up the 2021 season, then Director of Athletics Dr. Eric A. Wood announced the removal of the interim tag after Voltz guided a squad with 18 newcomers, including 15 freshmen, to a 6-8-3 overall record and a 2-4-2 league mark. The team had a strong finish to the slate, going unbeaten in four of their last five matches in C-USA play.

During that final five-game stretch, the Bulldogs tied West Division champion Southern Miss and had their most complete game in the season finale with a 4-0 road victory at FIU.
