Senior (2013):

Mullins was once again one of the top midfielders in the University Athletic Association (UAA) during her senior campaign, earning an honorable mention to the all-conference squad.  She started each of the 19 games she played in, serving as the Eagles’ holding midfielder and helping lead an Emory defense that shutout 10 opponents and ranked 20th in Division III with a 0.557 goals-against average, while limiting the opposition to 8.95 shots and 3.3 shots on goal per game.  Mullins finished the season with three goals, each of which proved to be a game-winning score (tying her for the team lead in the category during the campaign).  Her signature game of the season came against then 11th-ranked Lynchburg in the second round of the NCAA Championships, with Mullins playing all 90 minutes to help shut down one of the nation’s top offenses, while also scoring the game-winning goal on a penalty kick late in the first half of the contest.  She also scored the game-winning goals during Emory victories at Wheaton (Mass.) on September 1st and against Brandeis on October 20th.  Mullins started and played in all but two games during her Emory career, and will graduate as the program’s all-time leader in starts and games played with 85 of each.  She totaled 16 goals and 10 assists for 42 points over her career, and ends her time with Emory ranked second in school history with 79 career shots on goal, third with 200 shots, tied for fourth with 10 game-winning goals and 20th with 16 total goals.  

Junior (2012):

For the third-straight season, Mullins started every Emory game during the season, one of five players to set a program record with 24 starts for the year.  She finished the year with four goals and one assist for nine points.  Mullins opened the season by lifting the Eagles to a victory against top-ranked Messiah College, converting a penalty kick in overtime to give Emory a 2-1 win.  It was the only goal scored in the second half or later against Messiah during the entire season.  She also had game-winning scores against the University of the South on September 15th and Berry College on September 23rd.  In conference play, she recorded a goal during Emory's 5-0 win over Case Western Reserve University on October 12th.  Mullins was the Eagles' first shooter during the NCAA Quarterfinals shootout against Carnegie Mellon, and converted a pair of shots, allowing the team to advance to the NCAA Semifinals for the first time in the program's history.  She was second on the team with 61 shots during the season, 21 of which were on goal.  At the end of her junior season, Mullins is tied for 11th in school history with seven game-winning goals, and will begin her senior year 11 games shy of the school record for career starts and 15 games short of the program mark for career games played.

Sophomore (2011):

Mullins earned the first post-season honors of her career during the 2011 season, as the sophomore was named to the all-South Atlantic Region and all-University Athletic Association (UAA) first teams.  She was fourth among all Emory players with 15 points during the year, and third with six goals to go along with her three assists.  Starting all 20 games during the campaign, Mullins scored game-winning goals against UAA opponents Case Western Reserve University (October 14th) and Brandeis University (October 28th), and assisted on the game-winning goal in the Eagles' 3-0 victory over Piedmont College in the first round of the NCAA Tournament, one of two assists she recorded in the game.  She was fourth among all UAA players with three goals and fifth with six points during conference play.  Mullins scored goals in three-straight games for Emory from September 23rd - 28th.  She was also a part of an Emory defense that set a school record with just five goals allowed and a 0.242 goals-against average, the third-lowest mark among Division III squads in 2011.  In addition, the Eagles backline set a new program high-water mark with 16 shutouts during the campaign, and were third in the nation with a 0.8 shutout percentage.  Mullins helped the Emory defense limit opponents to just 6.35 shots per game and 2.6 shots on goal per game during the campaign.  The center midfielder was second on the team with 46 shots during the year, 24 of which were on goal.  Mullins was named the UAA Defensive Athlete of the Week on October 24th.  She ended her sophomore campaign with nine goals and nine assists for 27 points, and has started each of Emory's 42 games during her two seasons on the team.

Freshman (2010):

Mullins was the only Emory freshman to start all 22 games during the season, and finished the year with 1,782 minutes played, the second-most in the program's history.  She led all Emory players with six assists during the season, and her 12 points were the fourth-most by an Eagle in 2010.  Mullins added on three goals, including the game-winning scores during the Eagles' 7-0 win over Agnes Scott College on September 22nd and their 4-1 win over Oglethorpe University on October 12th.  She finished the Agnes Scott game with a season-best five points, coming on two goals and an assist.  Despite playing in her first postseason, Mullins is already tied for Emory's career lead with two assists in NCAA Tournament matches, one coming on the game-winning goal against Maryville College, and the other on the game-tying goal against Wheaton College.  Mullins had a season-best two assists at Maryville College during the regular season on September 26th.  She was also a contributor to an Emory defense that recorded a 0.56 goals-against average, the 23rd-lowest mark among NCAA Division III teams during the year. Opponents averaged just 4.1 shots on goal per game against the Eagles' defense, including 11 games of three shots on goal or less.  Mullins was named the University Athletic Association's (UAA) Defensive Player of the Week on September 27th.
