PISCATAWAY, N.J. - Rutgers head volleyball coach CJ Werneke has announced the hiring of Lindsey Lee to the Scarlet Knights coaching staff. Lee joins the program as an assistant coach after a decorated career playing under Werneke at Fairfield.
"I am very excited about adding Lindsey Lee as the newest member of our coaching staff," said Werneke. "I have known Lindsey since she was a junior in high school and after coaching her for four years at Fairfield, I cannot wait to work with her as a colleague. Not only will she bring her knowledge and passion for the game to our staff, but her competiveness will be a major asset to our program."
Lee was a four-year standout at the outside hitter position for Fairfield. The Hilo, Hawaii native was the MAAC Rookie of the Year and named First Team All-Conference during her first year in 2004. During her junior campaign, Lee was named the MAAC Offensive Player of the Year and was once again a First Team All-Conference selection. She ended her career holding the Fairfield records in both digs (1,647) and digs per game (3.88). She was only the fifth Stag in school history to record 1,000 kills and 1,000 digs.
Additionally, Lee has gained valuable coaching experience working with girls, ages 12-17, at Nike Volleyball Camps in Fairfield, Conn. She has also worked with junior players in her hometown of Hilo.
The Rutgers volleyball team will open up the 2008 season Friday, August 29th at the Northern Arizona Tournament against Binghamton.
