On December 7, 2010, Virginia Tech Director of Athletics Jim Weaver announced the hiring of Tech’s fourth head women's soccer coach Charles “Chugger” Adair, the associate head coach for the team the previous five seasons. The 2023 season marked Adair's 18th season in Blacksburg and his 13th year as the Hokies' head coach. In that time, he's become the all-time wins leader in program history, ending the 2022 campaign with a 148-75-24 overall record, and is just the third soccer coach at the school (Jerry Cheynet and Mike Brizendine) to reach the 100-win milestone with the team's victory at Miami on Sept. 23, 2019. He's also just the 10th women's soccer head coach to reach that mark in the ACC.

Matt Gwilliam returned to Virginia Tech in March 2015 and is in the ninth year of his second stint as an assistant coach for the Hokies and his ninth overall. Gwilliam returned to Tech after coaching the Hokies for three seasons from 2007-09. He serves as a goalkeeper’s coach, assists with recruiting efforts and helps with many other aspects of the program. Since his return to Tech, Gwilliam helped develop Mandy McGlynn into one of the top goalkeepers in the country. McGlynn made several appearances with US Soccer national teams and was one of three goalkeepers on the U-20 National Team that competed in the 2018 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup. She had a season to remember in 2019, which culminated with her being the Hokies' top NWSL draft selection in school history - No. 20 by Sky Blue FC in January 2020. Her most noteworthy accolades include a 2019 All-American, a 2019 Scholar All-American, a two-time All-ACC First Team goalkeeper (2018, 2019) and the 2019 Virginia state player of the year. She also set two school career records - all-time in shutouts (32) and goals against average (0.99). Click here to view her full bio and honors. In the 2024 season, Gwilliam coached Lauren Hargrove – a two-time ACC Defensive Player of the Week. Hargrove finished third among ACC goalkeepers with a .790 save percentage. The Hokies finished the season with 11 shutouts, the most in a single season since 2014, including a 1-0 shutout win over No. 17 Iowa in the NCAA Sweet 16. Before returning to
