Mulherin
Riley Mulherin closed out September with her best effort in what has been a successful college career as Marywood University’s offensive leader.
Mulherin posted her first career hat trick and added an assist Sept. 30 in a 5-1 win over SUNY Canton.
The junior forward from Abington Heights landed on the Atlantic East Honor Roll for the second time this season after extending her goal-scoring streak to four games.
Mulherin has already earned two first-team, All-Atlantic East honors and been an All-District choice once. The Pacers’ reigning Offensive Player of the Year has 22 goals and 13 assists in 37 career games, including 29 starts.
Marywood is 3-5-1 this season. Mulherin has eight goals and two assists for 18 points, giving her more goals and points than any other two Pacers combined. She also has two of the team’s three game-winners.
There are other Abington Heights and Lackawanna Trail graduates making significant contributions at Marywood this fall.
