He appeared in 31 games for the Bulldogs and tied for the team lead in game-winning goals (two) that included FSU's overtime game-winning tally against Minnesota State in Game 2 of the Mason Cup Quarterfinals. He also scored a power-play goal and recorded two multi-point games throughout the year.

Lundy (Brooklyn, N.Y.) joined the Bulldogs for his senior season after three years with American International College. He finished his final collegiate campaign with 11 points on five goals and six assists. Lundy tallied two power play goals with the Bulldogs, concluding his career with 16 power play goals.
