The team posted a 19-3 mark in 2009-10, including an 8-0 mark in conference play, earning the program's first ever berth into the NCAA Tournament. A season later, the Knights followed up their first appearance on the national stage with a 15-4 mark and 7-0 league mark, returning to the NCAA Tournament for the second time in program history.

Lindsay lists winning the Skyline Conference and making the NCAA Tournament as well and earning First Team All-Skyline Conference honors as important achievements in her time as a Knight, but adds that completing her nursing degree while being a student-athlete as one of her proudest moments at the Mount.

"Tennis taught me determination which carried through in my career with successful completion of my doctorate degree in nursing and helped me in the pursuit of excellence," Lindsay continued.
 
Lindsay graduated from Mount Saint Mary in 2011 with a degree in Nursing and completed her Doctorate in Nursing Practice from Duquesne University in July.
