Lucia Robinson joined the MIT women's basketball coaching staff in the fall of 2011 after a three-year tenure at Lesley University. She arrived in Cambridge as an assistant coach and then assumed head coaching duties the next two seasons.

During her time with the Lynx, Robinson's squads were back-to-back New England Collegiate Conference champions, resulting in her becoming one of the youngest head coaches in the NCAA to win a league title. Prior to her time at Lesley, Robinson served as the assistant varsity basketball and junior varsity head softball coach at Dana Hall School in Wellesley, Mass. She has also coached at the Bentley University and Sarah Behn Summer Basketball Camps.

A Dean's List student, Robinson graduated from Bentley in 2007 with degrees in mathematics and psychology. During her senior campaign, the Falcons advanced to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Division II Tournament. Robinson went on to earn her Master's degree in math education from Lesley University.
