Mulligan helped guide Iowa to 30 wins in 2013, the most for the
Hawkeyes since 2009. Iowa posted six wins over ranked opponents.
In addition to her experience at Iowa, Mulligan spent a year as an assistant coach at Clear Creek
Amana High School (Tiffin, Iowa) and two years as an assistant coach for the St. Louis Chaos U-16 team.
