Mount St. Mary's Official Release of Munday's Hiring
EVANSTON, Ill. -- Lindsey Munday, a former All-American for the Wildcats, has been named the head women's lacrosse coach at Mount St. Mary's, announced Monday. Munday has served the last four years as an assistant coach to Kelly Amonte Hiller and has played a key role in helping Northwestern to five national titles since 2005.
"I am extremely honored to be the next women's lacrosse coach at Mount St. Mary's University," said Munday. "I want to thank President Dr. Thomas Powell and Director of Athletics Lynne Robinson for giving me this opportunity. I would also like to thank Northwestern head coach Kelly Amonte Hiller for first teaching and mentoring me as a player and then as a coach to prepare me to become a head coach. The Mount has a rich tradition and I am really excited to be a part of the future of Mount women's lacrosse."
"Lindsey is a tremendous coaching talent," said Amonte Hiller. "We are extremely sad to lose her, but it is exciting to see her get an opportunity like this. Mount St. Mary's is a great school that is building an exciting lacrosse tradition. With Lindsey's experience, she will build on their current traditions while taking the program to a whole new level."
A Tewaaraton Trophy semifinalist in 2005 and 2006, she finished her career as the program's all-time leader in assists (128), third in points (268) and fifth in goals (140) and also holds the single-season record for points (107) and assists (54) for the 2005 campaign. Northwestern posted a 64-12 record in her four-year playing career, including a 56-4 mark in her final three campaigns while winning the Wildcats first two National Championships in 2005 and 2006.
As an assistant for the Wildcats, she assisted Amonte Hiller with the Northwestern offensive attack which consistently ranked first in the nation as the 'Cats captured three more national titles in 2007, 2008 and 2009. Munday coached a handful of IWLCA All-Americans, including Tewaaraton Trophy winners Kristen Kjellman and Hannah Nielsen and Tewaaraton finalist Katrina Dowd.
