Early life

[edit]

Kuhlmann is originally from Centennial, Colorado.[2]

She played youth soccer for Colorado Rush.[3]

College career

[edit]

She played college soccer for Stanford from 2017 to 2021,[4] and for Colorado in 2022.[5]

Stanford reached the finals of the 2017 NCAA Division I women's soccer tournament and defeated the UCLA Bruins 3–2 in the championship match.[6]

Kuhlmann's collegiate career was impacted by multiple injuries. In August 2019, she tore her anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and medial meniscus, and underwent knee surgery to repair her ACL.[7] In March 2020, she underwent a second knee surgery to repair her meniscus.[8] Her return to soccer was further impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic; on August 11, 2020, the Pac-12 announced the postponement of all sports through the end of 2020.[9] She was cleared in November 2020,[8] and made her return to the field on February 19, 2021, scoring a penalty kick goal in Stanford's season-opening win against Pepperdine.[10]

Kuhlmann underwent right hip surgery in July 2021 to repair a torn labrum and a microfracture,[7] and underwent left hip surgery in February 2022.[2]

In total, Kuhlmann underwent four surgeries during her college career at Stanford.[2][11]

In July 2022, Kuhlmann transferred to Colorado.[12] In the 2022 season, she recorded 12 goals and six assists, totaling 30 points that tied her for second in team history with Jorian Baucom and Taylor Kornieck.[13]

Club career

[edit]

On January 12, 2023, Kuhlmann was selected by the Washington Spirit in the 2023 NWSL Draft.[14] On March 8, she signed with the Spirit on a two-year contract with a team option for 2025.[15] Kuhlmann made her first professional start on April 19, 2023, in Washington's 2023 NWSL Challenge Cup match against NJ/NY Gotham FC.[16] In July 2023, she suffered a season-ending knee injury during training.[17]

Kuhlmann represented the United States under-17 team at the 2013 CONCACAF Women's U-17 Championship.[18] On October 31, 2013, she became the youngest player to score for the U.S. under-17 team.[19] She also represented the U.S. under-17 team at the 2016 CONCACAF Women's U-17 Championship,[20] and the 2016 FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup,[21] becoming the first U.S. player to score a hat-trick at a FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup.[22]
