Career

Lundquist played high school hockey for Cloquet-Esko-Carlton.[2] From 2009 to 2013, she attended Bemidji State University, scoring 83 points in 144 NCAA games.[3][4] She served as the team's captain in her senior year.[5]

After graduating, she joined the independent Minnesota Whitecaps. She was one of two Whitecaps players invited to the 3rd NWHL All-Star Game held in Minnesota.[6] She stayed with the Whitecaps as the team joined the NWHL ahead of the 2018-19 season, as the club won the Isobel Cup.[7][8]

In January 2019, a banner with her number was hung from the rafters at the Northwoods Credit Union Arena in her hometown, honouring her as the first professional women's hockey player from Cloquet.[9] In January 2020, she made an appearance with Team Minneapolis for Hockey Day Minnesota, scoring twice in a 4-3 loss to Team Minnesota.[10]
