Lindsey Lee returns for her ninth season with the Scarlet Knights coaching staff in 2016. Prior to taking the job as an assistant coach at Rutgers, Lee had a decorated career playing under CJ Werneke at Fairfield.
"I have known Lindsey since she was a junior in high school and after coaching her for four years at Fairfield, she has been great to work with as a colleague," said head coach CJ Werneke. "Not only does she bring her knowledge and passion for the game to our staff, but her competiveness has been 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 and has been coaching at the club level at the Atlantic Valley Volleyball Club in New Jersey the last two years.
