Lynsey Whisner returns for her third season as the head volleyball coach at Denison University in 2009. After spending six years as an assistant coach, Whisner took over the reins from 18-year head coach Sara Lee who continued to serve as the head women's basketball coach at Denison.
She has served as the assistant volleyball and assistant softball coach at Denison since the 2001-02 season. Since 2001, Denison has posted 137 victories, a .576 winning percentage and has advanced to a pair of North Coast Athletic Conference Tournament finals (2001 & 2002).
Whisner also serves as the assistant softball coach where the program has reached new heights since its inception in 1997. Over the last eight years the Denison softball team has averaged 24 victories a season and has three NCAC regular season championships, three NCAC Tournament titles and has advanced to the NCAA Division III Championship Tournament three times.
Whisner and her husband reside in nearby Hanover, Ohio. She earned her masters in business administration from Otterbein College in 2008 and holds a bachelor's degree in business management with a concentration in human resources from Capital University in 1999. A former catcher for the Crusaders, Whisner helped the team to 45 victories over her final two seasons.
