Veronica Mullen begins
her second season as an assistant coach at Caldwell College. A
former teammate of Cimino’s at Adelphi University, Mullen was a
two-year starter at guard for the Panthers from 2000-02. She was
named the team’s most valuable player as a junior after averaging
13.8 points per game. Mullen then helped the Panthers win their
first New York Collegiate Athletic Conference title and advance to
the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament during her senior year. She also
was a member of the volleyball team at Adelphi. Before transferring
to Adelphi in 2000, Mullen was a two-year starter at N.J.I.T.
“Veronica and I were teammates and roommates in college, so there is
a trust between us that is invaluable to me,” Cimino said. “She knows the type of talent
needed to be successful, and we will rely on her to recruit the
talent in the tri-state area.”
A native of Ridgefield Park, N.J., Mullen earned a Bachelor’s degree
in Physical Education from Adelphi in 2003. She spent the 2005-06
season as a coach at Demarest (N.J.) High School. Currently, Mullen
