Lindsay Sue Stoecker (born April 26, 1978) is an American former professional soccer player. A tall defender or midfielder, she represented Washington Freedom of Women's United Soccer Association (WUSA).
Stoecker was Washington Freedom's second draft pick ahead of the inaugural 2001 season of the Women's United Soccer Association (WUSA).[3] She missed part of the 2002 season with an anterior cruciate ligament injury.[4] In 2003, Stoecker was part of the Freedom team who won the Founders Cup, but when the league subsequently folded she began working for a consultancy firm.[5]
In August 2001, United States national team coach April Heinrichs called up Stoecker to a 24-player preliminary roster for the 2001 Women's U.S. Cup.[6]
