Mullane enters the fifth season of his incredibly successful tenure in Bristol and currently sits just outside the top-ten in the program record books in several categories including goals, assists, and points. Entering his grad year for the Hawks, he has played and started in all 53 games the Men's Lacrosse team has played, averaging north of three points per contest and compiling 96 goals, 64 assists and 160 points along the way.
 
So far this season across the team's nine games played, Mullane has netted 20 goals, the second most in the CCC while assisting on 11 others to rank seventh in the conference. More than two of every three shots he has taken have been on net while he owns a robust 39.2 shooting percentage. He was named CCC Player of the Week for the week of February 28^th through March 6^th after he tallied a career-high in goals and points with seven and ten respectively.
 
As a freshman, he burst onto the scene ranking third on the team with 43 points and 30 goals across the team's 17 games. Mullane followed that up with 55 points and 32 goals as a sophomore with both marks ranking second on the Hawks and tenth in the Commonwealth Coast Conference. He also improved as a facilitator more than doubling his assist total with 23 to rank second on the roster.
 
In the abbreviated 2020 campaign, Mullane was leading RWU with 13 goals to go with 18 total points, the second most on the team, in just five games before the shutdown, however he rode that momentum into his senior season. He earned All-CCC recognition for the first time making the third team after ranking within the top-ten in the conference in goals (21, 9^th), assists (18, 5^th) points (39, 7^th), and man-up goals (3, 6^th).
 
Off the field, Mullane is an excellent student as a three-time All-CCC Academic selection in addition to being named to the NEILA All-Academic Team last spring.
