The junior forward had three points on a goal and an assist in the Nittany Lions’ season opener against then No. 2 Notre Dame.
Despite the stellar individual performance, two late goals from the Fighting Irish knotted the final score at two.
Kulpa is in her third season in Happy Valley after an impressive sophomore season in 2025. The Cromwell, Connecticut, native was named a Third Team All-Big Ten Conference honoree after recording eight goals and six assists in just 15 games.
The forward has shown immense talent since stepping onto campus, also producing seven goals and three assists in 23 games as a true freshman, despite coming off the bench.
Kulpa and the rest of the Nittany Lions continue their 2026 campaign with a trip to Morgantown, West Virginia, to face the No. 22 West Virginia Mountaineers on Thursday, August 20.
