"I still have a little of the hockey mindset."

Lindsay Whalen starred for the Golden Gophers from 2000-04, culminating her Minnesota career at the Final Four in 2004. She was a three-time All-American, an Academic All-American and the Big Ten Player of the Year in 2002. She is Minnesota’s all-time leading scorer with 2,285 points to her credit. Whalen’s number 13 is retired and honored with a banner hanging from the rafters in Williams Arena.

Whalen entered her first season on Pam Borton’s Minnesota women’s basketball staff as an administrative assistant. She returned to her alma mater after leading the Connecticut Sun to the 2006 Eastern Conference regular-season title and the second round of the WNBA playoffs. Whalen will assist with the team’s community service projects, marketing, alumni relations and other administrative aspects of the program.

Whalen earned her bachelor’s degree in sports management in 2005.
