Holy Family University Head Women's Basketball Coach Bernadette Laukaitis has announced the hiring of Lindsay Alexander as an assistant coach. 
 
She comes to HFU after spending eight years at fellow Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) member Chestnut Hill College, her alma mater, including the previous four as the Griffins' head assistant. 
 
"We are beyond excited to welcome Lindsay to the HFU women's basketball family," Laukaitis commented. "She has been very successful in the CACC both as both a player and a coach and will bring great energy and basketball IQ to the team this upcoming season."
 
Chestnut Hill qualified for the CACC Tournament in each of her three seasons as head assistant (the 2020-21 season was canceled due to COVID), accumulating a 39-15 record in league play. 
 
The Griffins enjoyed their best-ever season in 2021-22, setting a program record with 24 wins, recording their first-ever CACC Tournament victory and advancing to the program's first NCAA Tournament. 
 
Upon joining CHC in 2015-16, Alexander's responsibilities included but were not limited to post-player development, recruiting and scouting. A total of three players earned CACC Rookie of the Year honors during her tenure. 
 
The Huntingdon Valley, Pa. native was a 1,000-pointer scorer at Lower Moreland High School, where she began her coaching career as an assistant for two seasons. During those two years, the program won the Bicentennial Athletic League, qualified for the District 1 Tournament twice and had a total of five student-athletes earn All-League accolades. 
 
Alexander was one of the top players in CHC history, winning Team MVP as a freshman and earning All-CACC honors three times as she became one of just three Griffins to record over 1,000 points and 600 rebounds.
 
She averaged double figures in each of her four seasons and ranks in the top nine of the program's history in points (1,116), rebounds (603), assists (157) and steals (109), after making 88 starts in 100 appearances.
 
Alexander graduated from Chestnut Hill in 2013 with a bachelor's degree in elementary/special education, before earning her master's degree in education from CHC the following year. 
 
She currently resides in Philadelphia and is special education teacher in The School District of Philadelphia.
