On May 17, Mulder broke a scoreless tie with an unassisted goal with nine minutes remaining against Huron, giving the Hornets a key victory in their run to a Southeastern Conference Red Division title.

On Saturday, she did it again. Her goal off a corner kick with four minutes left to play gave Saline a 1-0 win at Skyline High School and its second straight district title.
