It’s exciting to bring in Lyndsey because she’s the right fit for Marian University and the community of Fond du Lac,” Bartelt said. “Lyndsey blew us away with her energy and passion for this job. I’m excited to welcome Lyndsey to the Marian University family.”
Seewald is also very enthusiastic in regards to being named the head women’s basketball coach at Marian.

It’s a privilege to be back in the Division III environment and I look forward to establishing a positive and dedicated culture for the Marian University women’s basketball program.”
