  • Orlando Cervantes led the Lady Cardinals from 2012 to 2015. The team finished 2012 with a second-place finish in conference and runner-up in the conference tournament.
  • Steve Holeman was head coach for six seasons (2016-2021). While at Lamar, Holeman completed his second season with the Lady Cardinals in 2017 with three firsts for the team. The Lady Cardinals won the Southland Conference regular season championship, the Southland Conference tournament championship, and participated in the NCAA Division I Women's Soccer Tournament for the first time in program history.
