Julia Ortiz begins her second season as an assistant coach for the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns Women's Soccer team after serving as an assistant in 2021 at former Sun Belt Conference rival Little Rock.
Ortiz, who oversees the Ragin’ Cajuns goalkeepers, played a vital part in the play of Libby Harper, who ranked among the SBC leaders on both saves and saves per game.
During her tenure at Little Rock, Ortiz helped guide the Trojan goalkeepers to nine shutouts on the year while ranking 81st nationally and second in the Sun Belt with a .400 shutout percentage.
Under her guidance, Little Rock also ranked 98th nationally and second in the league with a 1.028 goals against average. The Trojans advanced to the quarterfinals of the Sun Belt Tournament before falling in penalty kicks to eventual league champion South Alabama.
Ortiz spent the 2020 season at in-state program LSU-Shreveport where she was a graduate assistant with the Pilots. During her lone season in Shreveport, she helped guide LSUS to a 14-6-1 record, including a 6-1 mark in Red River Athletic Conference play.
Ortiz was a four-year goalkeeper at Saint Leo (Fla.), playing 43 games in net for the Lions. She registered a 1.61 goals against average and tallied 165 career saves, starting every game as a junior and senior. She played a key role in helping Saint Leo capture the Sunshine State Conference title as a freshman with the Lions finishing the year among the national top-20.
A native of Bradenton, Fla., Ortiz earned her degree in sport business from Saint Leo in 2020.
