CONWAY - Coastal Carolina women's basketball head coach Kevin Pederson has announced the signing of UVA Wise-transfer Caroline Mullins for the 2026-2027 season. 

"We are excited to welcome Caroline and her family to Coastal Carolina!" Pederson said. "The coaching staff at UVA Wise did an outstanding job working with Caroline to help her become an honorable mention D2 All-American and First Team All-Conference player. Her ability to score, rebound and create one-on-one off the dribble will help her make an immediate impact upon her arrival. Our staff is looking forward to the toughness and competitive nature she is going to bring to our program on a daily basis."

Mullins, a 5-10 guard who enters the program as a junior, played at UVA Wise from 2024-26. The Jasper, Ga. native is the first transfer signed by the Chanticleers for the upcoming season.
