Lindsay Teeters has been announced as the head coach of American University women's lacrosse by Director of Athletics and Recreation, Dr. Billy Walker. Teeters, a two-time All-American for Boston University, brings 13 years of coaching experience to the position.

"I'm tremendously excited to announce Lindsay Teeters as the new Head Women's Lacrosse Coach at American University," said Walker. "I'm convinced Lindsay will help build on the momentum we had this year and take our program to new heights. She has an impressive playing and coaching background and has very strong ties within the lacrosse community. Her passion and sincerity really shine through, and I know she'll serve as a positive mentor and role model to our student-athletes. I'm thrilled to welcome Coach Teeters to the AU Eagles Family!"
 
Taking over the reins from interim head coach Maureen Breslin, Teeters will look to carry and build upon the success of a newly-energized program coming off a 7-0 shortened season this spring.

"I want to personally thank Dr. Billy Walker, Josephine Harrington and AU Athletics for their belief in me and their dedication to this selection process," said Teeters. "I also want to send a special thank you to Maureen Breslin, Alix Lopez, and Lindsey Ronbeck for their leadership last season. We will continue to build upon the success of 2020, and will hit the ground running this fall.

"I couldn't be more excited for the opportunity to work with the amazing student-athletes at American University. American's academic excellence, commitment to the lacrosse program, and location make it an ideal university both professionally and personally. I look forward to working with each player individually to help them achieve their goals, both on and off the field."
 
For the past six years, Teeters has been in the club and high school ranks after spending seven years as an assistant coach at the college level. She became the program director of Bitmore Lacrosse in Maryland in 2015 and the club owner in 2017. When Bitmore was acquired by PRIDE Lacrosse in Falls Church, Va., in 2019, Teeters became the Director of Recruiting which involved working with all six high school level teams to provide coaching, game strategy, scheduling, evaluations, and individual recruiting plans. Since taking on her new role with PRIDE, Teeters has also served as the head varsity girls lacrosse coach at Mount de Sales Academy.
 

Teeters was an assistant coach at James Madison University from 2006-09, at George Washington University in 2009-10 and at Virginia Tech from 2010-13 where she was promoted to associate head coach before her final season. While Teeters was on staff, the Hokies posted back-to-back winning seasons for the first time in program history. They claimed victories over No. 16 Boston College in 2011 and No. 7 Virginia in 2012. 
 
She returned to Maryland to work with Team USA as the National Teams Manager at US Lacrosse in 2013. One year later, the Assistant Athletic Director position opened up at Garrison Forest School which gave Teeters an opportunity to get back into coaching as the varsity lacrosse coach. Under her leadership, Garrison Forest had its best season in almost 15 years and ranked in the Baltimore Sun's Top 10.
 
Many influential individuals in the lacrosse community have guided Teeters throughout her career in the sport.

"I would like to thank my mentors," she said. "All of whom believed in me and have helped me along my lacrosse journey. These individuals have had an immeasurable impact on me, from my playing days to my experience as a coach. I would not be where I am today without their guidance. Thank you to Liza Kelly (Denver), Liz Robertshaw (IWLCA), Lauren Morton (BU), Shelley Klaes-Bawcombe (JMU), Megan Griesemer (VT), Katie Woods (UConn), and Drew Marrochello (BU Athletic Director). Without you and your guidance, none of this is possible." 
 
After graduating from Glenelg High School in Howard County, Md., Teeters was a four-year starter at BU and two-time IWLCA All-American, helping lead the Terriers to three America East Championships and three NCAA Tournament appearances, including a quarterfinal run in 2005. She was a four-time America East All-Conference selection and a four-time IWLCA All-Region honoree, graduating as the program's all-time leading scorer with 187 goals in 2006 - seven years before BU joined the Patriot League. Teeters, who was Lindsay Lewis in her BU days, still ranks fourth all-time in career goals for the Terriers. She received a bachelor's degree in hospitality administration from BU. Teeters was also selected as a member of Team USA from 2007-09.
 
Teeters currently lives in Ellicott City, Md., with her husband Matt and two daughters Lewis and Weston.
