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 works with Miami's guards, has helped guide the career of some of the program's top 3-point shooters. Heather Cusick finished her career as Miami's all-time leader in 3-point field goals (230) while, in 2003-04, Nicki Motto broke the program record and led the MAC with 79 3-point field goals.

Five RedHawks presently listed among Miami's career top 10 in 3-point field goals worked with Hayden. Last season, Jenna Schone broke Miami's freshman 3-point field goal record with 47 treys.

Hayden also is in her second season as the program's recruiting coordinator.

As assistant athletic director at Mt. Notre Dame, Hayden assisted with the coordination of an athletic program that consisted of 12 sports, 25 teams and more than 350 athletes.

Hayden also spent four seasons as an assistant and head coach with Mt. Notre Dame's girl's basketball team, helping the team to a Sweet 16 appearance in her first season as head coach (1999-2000). Prior to joining the staff at Mt. Notre Dame, Hayden served from 1995-97 as the assistant girls basketball coach at Badin High School.

One of the most prolific 3-point shooters in Miami history, Hayden scorched the nets for 205 treys during her collegiate career, including a then-program record 68 3-pointers during her senior season. Hayden 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.
