In 2011, the Big Red won their 10th straight NCAC title and ranked as high as sixth in the nation. 

Prior to her time in Granville, she spent six years (2004-10) as the head coach at Wooster while also assisting with the women's basketball team. 

Shulman's coaching career began at Hamilton College (NY) where she spent two years (2002-04) as an assistant tennis and squash coach. 

A former three-sport athlete at Denison University, Shulman graduated in 1999 with a degree in psychology and later earned a master's degree in coaching education from Ohio University in 2002 while working as a graduate assistant. 

She was inducted into the Hawken School Hall of Fame in 2019 for her high school accomplishments in tennis, basketball, and softball.
