Macaulay Soto is in her third year as Tennessee's Director of Soccer Operations in 2024. The squad in 2023 overcame adversity due to injuries to advance to the NCAA Tournament for the third consecutive season. During her first season with the Lady Vols in 2022, the program captured a third consecutive SEC East Division title. Soto spent five seasons as the director of operations for the women's soccer program at Virginia Tech prior to transitioning to Tennessee. At VT, she managed the recruiting database, coordinated equipment and video needs and oversaw all aspects of team travel. Prior to her time in Blacksburg, Soto spent a season at Carthage College in Wisconsin as a graduate assistant and recruiting coordinator. A 2016 graduate of Messiah College in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, she was a four-year soccer letterwinner, earning all-conference defensive player of the year honors on two occasions and being named an NSCAA All-American in 2014 and 2015. During her collegiate career, the Falcons were NCAA Division III national champions in 2012 and advanced to the Division III semifinals in 2015.

Assistant coach Marty Baker enters his second season on Joe Kirt’s Tennessee staff in 2024. In 2024, the Lady Vols advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the fourth consecutive season and 16th time in program history. UT compiled a record of 9-7-4 and earned three All-SEC selections, along with six athletes being tabbed CSC Academic All-District honorees. In his first year, the Lady Vols overcame adversity to advance to their third straight NCAA Tournament appearance. Under the direction of Baker, goalkeeper Ally Zazzara helped lead UT down the stretch. During the Lady Vols' upset victory over #17 Xavier on the road in the first round of the NCAA Tournament, Zazzara tied the program record with 15 saves as Tennessee claimed the victory in a 1-0 double-overtime victory. Prior to joining on at UT, Baker spent four seasons as an assistant coach at VCU, where he helped guide the Rams to a 73-17-13 record and a 2021 Atlantic 10 Championship. In 2022, he coached goalkeeper Whitney Horton, who recorded eight shutouts and posted a goals-against average of .855 en route to earning Atlantic 10 Defensive Player of the Week honors on two occasions. Horton never started a game for VCU prior to her senior season when she started every match and ranked fourth in the nation in total minutes. A Knoxville native, Baker previously spent two seasons with the Lady Vols, joining the program in the spring of 2017 as a graduate manager before being elevated to volunteer assistant in the fall.
