Lisa Hayden Position: Assistant Coach Experience: 8th Year Alma Mater: Miami University '95

Lisa Hayden, a standout for the Red and White from 1991-95, returned to her alma mater prior to the 2001-02 season after serving as head girls basketball coach and assistant athletic director at Mt. Notre Dame High School in Cincinnati.

Hayden, who has served as the program's recruiting coordinator for the past three years, is also responsible for coaching the RedHawk guards. She has guided the career of some of the program's top three-point shooters. Heather Cusick finished her career as Miami's all-time leader in three-point field goals (230), while in 2003-04, Nicki Motto broke the program record and led the MAC with 79 three-pointers.

Five RedHawks presently listed among Miami's career top 10 in three-point field goals worked with Hayden. During the 2005-06 season under Hayden's tutelage, Jenna Schone broke Miami's freshman three-point field goal record with 47 treys. Last season, Schone broke Motto's record by hitting 84 three-pointers.

Before returning to Miami, Hayden held a variety of posts at one of the premiere prep schools in Cinncinnati. From 1997-2001, as Mt. Notre Dame's Assistant A.D., Hayden helped coordinated an athletic department that consisted of 12 sports, 25 teams and more than 350 athletes. During this time, she also served as an assistant coach on the girls basketball team for two seasons, before taking the reins as head coach. In her first season, Hayden guided the team to a sweet 16 appearance in the Ohio state tournament. Prior to joining the staff at Mt. Notre Dame, Hayden served as the assistant girls basketball coach at Badin High School from 1995-97.

One of the most prolific three-point shooters in Miami history, Hayden scorched the nets for 205 treys during her collegiate career, including a then-program record 68 three-pointers during her senior season. She also finished her career as one of just a handful of Miami women to clear 1,000 career points, amassing 1,047 points.

A native of Henderson, Ky., and inductee into the Henderson County High School Hall of Fame, Hayden earned a bachelor of science degree in education and allied professions from Miami in 1995.
