Lauren Amundson returns for her second season as head coach of the Stonehill volleyball program. In her first year at the helm, she led the Skyhawks to a 15-11 overall record, finishing in a five-way tie for fifth place in the Northeast-10. Junior setter Andrea Wirth became Amundson's first NE-10 All-Conference honoree, earning a second-team selection.
A former assistant coach at Bryant University, Amundson spent two seasons with the Bulldogs as the program transitioned into Division I, helping guide them to a combined 48-32 mark. In her first year with the team, Bryant's last in Division II, the Bulldogs went 32-13, finished a perfect 14-0 in the Northeast-10, and reached the NCAA Regional Championship.
Prior to Bryant, Amundson had a standout four-year career as a record-setting setter at Christian Brothers University in Memphis, Tenn. There, she owns six single-season or career records, including the Buccaneers' all-time career assists mark (5,506). She also holds the school's single-season assists record, with 1,552 during her junior year, breaking the mark of 1,390 she set as a freshman in 2003.
Amundson also has coaching experience at the club level, spending two years with the Memphis Juniors and Memphis Metro, and two with the Rhode Island Blast.
As a prep player at Stanwood High, Amundson helped her team advance to the state tournament three times, earning second-team all-conference honors in her senior campaign.
A member of the National Honor Society, Amundson was valedictorian of her graduating class in 2003.
A 2007 graduate of Christian Brothers with a bachelor's degree in Business Administration, Amundson, 24, received her MBA from Bryant in the summer of 2009.
