Lindsey Munday, a two-time World Cup champion, is the U.S. Women’s Sixes National Team head coach. Munday’s appointment will include two international championships – The World Games 2025 in China and the inaugural World Lacrosse Sixes Championship, scheduled for 2027.
Munday, the head women’s lacrosse coach at the University of Southern California, won gold medals with the U.S. at the 2009 and 2013 World Cups, serving as a team captain for the 2013 squad. Munday earned All-World honors at both championships and holds U.S. national team records for assists in tournament (21) and career (35).
Munday is coaching the new sixes discipline of the sport that will be utilized for the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. Sixes is a fast-paced version of the sport played on a smaller field (70 x 36 meters), with fewer players (6-v-6), a condensed game length (four 8-minute quarters) and a 30-second shot clock.
Munday was the first coach in USC history and the program launched with the 2013 season. In just over a decade of leading the Trojans, the program has won four conference championships and qualified for the NCAA tournament six times.
Her 2016 and 2017 teams each reached the NCAA quarterfinal round with her 2016 team winning a school-record 20 games and finishing the year ranked No. 5 in the country. In 2023, the Trojans captured their second Pac-12 championship.
Prior to coming to USC, Munday spent four years as an assistant coach at her alma mater, Northwestern. The Wildcats went 85-4 in her four seasons, winning three consecutive national championships from 2007 to 2009.
As a player, Munday helped Northwestern to its first two national championships in 2005 and 2006, serving as a team captain her senior year. She was a two-time first team All-American and finished her career with 268 career points.
