Santa Clara is her second head coaching stint, after previously leading Dartmouth College from 2011 to 2015.

Prior to being hired at Santa Clara, Lindsey spent the previous two seasons at Stanford, where she helped program win its eighth NCAA championship in 2018. As a student-athlete, Lindsey was a standout setter at University North Carolina.
