Stony Brook, N.Y. -

Sky Lindsay, a four-year starter for the St. John’s women’s basketball team, has been named Director of Basketball Operations for the Stony Brook women’s basketball program, head coach Caroline McCombs announced Monday.

“Sky is going to be a phenomenal addition to our women’s basketball program and Stony Brook University,” said McCombs. “She was an outstanding student-athlete at St. John’s University and understands the importance of the student-athlete experience. I love her enthusiasm and passion and am thrilled to have her on board.”

Lindsay started all 132 games in her St. John’s career from 2007-11, leading the Red Storm to NCAA Tournament appearances in her junior and senior seasons. She was selected to the BIG EAST All-Freshman team in 2007-08 and was a four-time BIG EAST Academic All-Star.

Before her time at St. John’s, Lindsay enjoyed a standout career as an All-American at Christ the King High School in Queens, going 58-0 as a varsity player and winning three state titles.

Lindsay honed her coaching skills at Queens College, serving as the women’s basketball assistant from 2011-12 before transitioning to roles as a student-athlete support services assistant and an event and game day coordinator. Since 2013, she has worked as the girls’ high school basketball color analyst for Verizon Fios Sports Television, providing expert analysis of televised games on Long Island.

“I am excited to join the Stony Brook University basketball family,” said Lindsay. “This is a dream come true for me to work beside a great coaching staff at the Division I level. What makes this opportunity even more special is the chance to remain in my home state, at a program with great tradition. I am deeply grateful for the opportunity provided to me by Coach McCombs and I look forward to growing alongside a rising coaching staff and athletic department.”
