Lindsay Pickering joins the Redhawks women's soccer coaching staff as an assistant coach for the 2008 season. Pickering, a former three-time letterwinning goalkeeper at Southeast, will work with goalkeepers and handle additional coaching and administrative responsibilities including travel arrangements, recruiting and academic progress.

Pickering completed her soccer eligibility with her third season as goalkeeper in 2007. She earned Ohio Valley Conference Defensive Player of the Year honors in 2005 and 2007, adding First Team All-OVC accolades in each of those two seasons as well as Second Team All-OVC honors in 2006. Starting at goalkeeper during each of her three seasons, she ranks first all-time among Southeast goalkeepers in every career category, including shutouts (28), wins (34), goals against average (0.72), saves (228), games in goal (58) and time in goal (5236:05).

Pickering has previous coaching experience as the goalkeeping trainer for the Southeast Soccer Club, and she served as a student assistant for Redhawks women's soccer during the 2008 spring semester.

The St. Charles, Mo., native was also a four-year starter in center field for the Redhawks softball team. She was an All-OVC Second Team selection in 2006 and twice earned All-Tournament honors.

A former Southeast Scholar Athlete and OVC Commissioner's Honor Roll honoree, Pickering will graduate in December 2008 with a Bachelor of Arts in elementary education with concentration in physical education.
