Staten Island, NY – With more than a decade of coaching and playing experience at the Division I level, former All-American Lindsey Ubrun has been named Wagner head softball coach, Director of Athletics Walt Hameline has announced.

During her seven combined seasons as an assistant coach at the University of Tennessee-Chattanooga in the Southern Conference, Big XII member Iowa State University, and most recently at Florida Gulf Coast University of the Atlantic Sun (ASun), Ubrun's teams have achieved major improvement and overall success, making particularly marked strides on the offensive end at each coaching stop.

After beginning her collegiate playing career at the University of Maryland in the ACC, Ubrun went on to earn All-America honors at the University of Missouri of the Big XII Conference where she played her final two seasons. The Riverside, CA native was a well-decorated infielder, accomplishing the highest honors both athletically and academically at both institutions.

"In addition to her All-American playing career, Lindsey has proven herself as both a developer of top talent and an accomplished national recruiter," said Hameline. "I couldn't be more excited to have her joining us at Wagner and building on the foundation that includes our second-place finish in the Northeast Conference (NEC) Championship this spring."

At the conclusion of her playing career, Ubrun found herself in both the Maryland and Missouri record books, and capped her career by leading Mizzou to an appearance in the Women's College World Series (WCWS) while earning NFCA All-American and CoSIDA Academic All-America honors.

Ubrun made her mark early in her playing career, hitting a then-Maryland record 11 home runs her freshman season (2006) earning Second Team All-ACC honors. Ubrun would also collect ACC All-Academic awards in both seasons as a Terrapin.

As a junior at Missouri, Ubrun batted .313 with 16 home runs and 58 RBIs as a junior, highlighted by her becoming the first player in Missouri history to belt three home runs in one game. She then batted .356 during her All-America senior campaign, with 16 home runs and 56 RBIs en route to leading the Tigers to their CWS appearance.

After earning her bachelor's degree in education from Missouri in 2009, Ubrun enjoyed continued playing success on the international level, where she was the MVP of the Austrian Softball League in 2011 while also coaching caps for younger players.

"I want to thank Walt Hameline, Tatum Colitz and the entire Wagner College Athletic Department for giving me an opportunity to join the Seahawk family," Ubrun said. "I am excited to get on campus and start working towards an NEC softball championship."

Ubrun began her collegiate coaching career with a three-year stint (2010-12) at Tennessee-Chattanooga. During her time in Chatanooga, where she worked with the outfielders and hitters, Ubrun helped the Mocs become one of the nation's top hitting teams. Chatanooga hit over .340 in both of her first two seasons and, in 2011, the Mocs set school records in six offensive categories, including runs scored and total bases. Under the guidance of Ubrun, Tiffany Baker set the school record for home runs in 2011 with 18.

In 2013, Ubrun returned to the Big XII at Iowa State where she spent three seasons (2013-15). Her first season in Ames, IA was one of the best in Iowa State history as the Cyclones hit .325, good for 11th in the nation and the best season output in program history.During her tenure s at Iowa State, Ubrun coached five All-Big XII selections, two All-Freshman Team members and one All-Defensive Team honoree.

Immediately prior to her arrival on Grymes Hill, Ubrun served the past two seasons as an assistant at Florida Gulf Coast University of the Atlantic Sun (ASun) Conference. In the role of hitting coach, Ubrun helped the Eagles to a victory over then 21st-ranked Fresno State as well as four victories in the Atlantic Sun Softball Championship. Under Ubrun, leadoff hitter Kelsey Huff paced the Eagles with a .363 average and led the nation in triples at one point during the year.

"We are absolutely thrilled to welcome Lindsey Ubrun to our Wagner family as the next leader of our softball program," Associate Athletic Director and Senior Women's Administrator Tatum Colitz added. "Not only did Lindsey excel as a Division I All-American student-athlete, but she also has a sterling record as a results-driven coach. Lindsey's infectious energy and vision for Wagner Softball set her apart, in addition to her commitment to student-athletes pursuing the highest level of academics and athletics."

Taking over for Angie Churchill, who was recently named head coach at Hartford University, Ubrun inherits the nucleus from a team that achieved the program's highest league finish since 2008, highlighted by the return of three All-NEC performers in rising junior Karen Prihoda (Hamilton Square, NJ / The Lawrenceville School), as well as rising sophomores Zoe Bender (Glen Rock, NJ / Glen Rock) and Amelia Van Orman (Orange, CA / Lutheran High School of Orange County).
