Former Mountain Lakes and Northwestern University lacrosse standout Lindsey Munday was recently named the seventh women’s lacrosse head coach in Mount St. Mary’s program history.

For the last four years, Munday has been the top assistant on Kelly Amonte Hiller’s staff, serving as recruiting coordinator, offensive coach and helping with scouting opponents. She helped Northwestern to an 85-4 record in her four seasons as an assistant coach, including a perfect 23-0 mark in 2009. The Wildcats won the National Championship in 2007, 2008 and 2009 while advancing to the NCAA championship game in 2010.
Munday was 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. A co-captain for 2006, Munday was named an IWLCA/US Lacrosse All-American in her final two seasons while also nabbing a spot on the All-American Lacrosse Conference first team in 2005 and 2006 after garnering second-team recognition in 2003 and 2004.
“I am extremely honored to be the next women’s lacrosse coach at Mount St. Mary’s University,” said Munday. “The Mount has a rich tradition and I am really excited to be a part of the future of Mount women’s lacrosse.”
Munday remains active as a player in lacrosse after playing with the United States in the 2009 FIL Women’s World Cup Championship team. She was named to All-World Cup team as an attacker after leading the United States with 17 goals and 20 assists for 37 points in seven games.
