CAMBRIDGE, Mass. –
Caroline Mullahy recorded her 200th career point on Saturday in a 14-9 loss to the Yale Bulldogs at Jordan Field.
Becoming just the seventh player in program history to reach 200 career points, Mullahy is up to 19 goals and 43 assists this season through 13 games. Already having set a new career high in goals, the senior is just eight points away from tying her career best of 70 points.
