Tech soccer announces 2023 slate

Louisiana Tech women’s soccer head coach Steve Voltz announced the team’s 18-game regular-season schedule featuring a new eightgame Conference USA slate.

With the additions of New Mexico State, Liberty, Sam Houston State, and Jacksonville State replacing Florida Atlantic, Rice, North Texas, Charlotte, UAB, and UTSA, Tech will face a revamped conference landscape.

In addition, UTEP, Middle Tennessee, WKU, and FIU will join Tech as the reaming familiar faces of Conference USA.

“There is a lot of transition in college athletics right now, and to see how diligent Conference USA was in adding several top-level institutions to our league has been great to see,” said head coach Steve Voltz. “On the soccer side of things, the league added some elite programs, which will continue to test our team every week and keep our league profile at a very high level. Travel will continue to be tough in this league, but I am sure our student-athletes will continue to excel in the classroom and on the field as they face these new challenges. With these great teams joining CUSA, our work is cut out for us.”

Tech will kick off the Fall with a two-game road trip to Colorado Springs and Fort Collins, Colo., to face Colorado College (Aug. 17) and Colorado State (Aug. 20), followed by a return to Ruston for the home opener against ULM at The Mack on Aug. 24.

The Techsters will play McNeese State at home three days later (Aug. 27) before taking three of the following four on the road before starting conference play.
