A two-time Caltech Female Athlete of the Year, Lindsay King cemented herself as a dominant force for the women's basketball team and one of the program's best-ever players by the time of her graduation. Most significantly, King – who started in all 100 of her games played – led the team to its first-ever conference wins in program history, contributing to four SCIAC victories between the 2006-07 and 2007-08 seasons.

Individually, the New Hampshire native broke an exhaustive list of school records, including total points scored (1242), points per game (12.4), three-pointers made (124), field goals made (430), free throws made (258), blocks (137), games played (100), games started (100) and minutes played (3788). She tied the record for most three-pointers in a game with six. King made history by becoming the first Caltech women's basketball player to reach 1,000 career points.

In her senior year, King led the team in points (316), three-pointers made (32), field goals made (112), free throws made (68) and blocks (28). The star recorded the second-most assists (30) and steals (18).

King won the 2008 Ed Baldwin Award and was the team MVP in 2007-08.
