ROCK HILL, SC – UVA Wise sophomore forward Caroline Mullins has been named First Team All-South Atlantic Conference for the 2025-26 season, conference officials announced today.

The Jasper, Georgia, native has had the best year of her collegiate career and arguably the best season of a UVA Wise women's basketball player in the school's NCAA Division II era. This season thus far she is averaging 19.9 points, 8.7 rebounds, and 2.3 assists a game. Her 537 points scored thus far are the most since Chelsea Cluesman scored 500 in the 2012-13 season.

She was named SAC Player of the Week twice this season and was also named the WBCA Division II National Player of the Week earlier this season. She is the third player to be named First Team All-SAC after Kalee Johnson and Caitlyn Ross earned the honor in the 2020-21 season.

Mullins currently leads the SAC in scoring with 19.9 points a game and also in total points with 537. She also ranks second in total rebounds (235) and defensive rebounds (172) and third in rebounds per game with 8.7. If she finishes the season still leading the SAC in scoring she would be the first UVA Wise women's basketball player to lead a conference in that category.

Her 19.9 points a game average also currently ranks as the third-best in program history, behind Christy Gray-Dalton (21.6 ppg) in 1997-98 and  Wanda Slone (20.3 ppg) in 1991-92.

Mullins and the rest of the team will make their second appearance in the SAC Tournament in the last three years when they face Carson-Newman Thursday at Noon in the Rock Hill Sports and Events Center. Links to live stats and the video stream are available on the UVA Wise Athletics website.
