Erin Lindsey joined the University of North Carolina volleyball coaching staff during early 2005. A 2000 UNC alum and native of Honolulu, Hawaii, Lindsey replaced former assistant Jill Lytle-Wilson. Lindsey was a standout member of the UNC volleyball team from 1995-1998. A two-time All-ACC player and AVCA All-Region selection, Lindsey was a two-year captain and the 1998 Atlantic Coast Conference Player of the Year. That year she led the Tar Heels to the ACC regular season title and the second round of the NCAA Tournament, the first NCAA appearance for UNC under Sagula. The program's all-time leader in career assists, Lindsey was named to the ACC's 50th Anniversary Team as one of the greatest players in league history. After an outstanding career on the court, Lindsey began her coaching career with the Tar Heels as an undergraduate assistant in 1999, when the team earned an ACC Championship and another appearance in the second round of the NCAA Tournament. During her time in Chapel Hill and the Triangle area, she also coached junior volleyball programs for two years with the Club Raleigh Volleyball program. Lindsey has provided guidance for the Tar Heel setters the past three years and has been witness to the emergence of Stephanie Jansma as one of the top setters in the ACC. McKenzie Byrd was the first setter under Lindsey's tutelage during the 2005 season as Byrd turned in a 1,233 assist season in 2005 as Byrd helped lead the Tar Heels to their most recent ACC Championship. Jansma has improved each season under Lindsey posting assist totals of 1,277 as a sophomore and 1,331 as a junior last year. Lindsey's coaching experience includes her most recent stop in Austin, Texas, where she coached with the Austin Junior Volleyball club, one of the top junior programs in the country. She also worked as a marketing director and consultant for the Austin Sports Center since 2004, and with Tocquigny Advertising, Interactive and Marketing from 2002 to 2004. Erin is married to 2000 Carolina alum Harold Lindsey, and they are the parents of Alexis Ululani, who was born Feb. 21, 2007. |
