Early life

Kuhlmann is originally from Centennial, Colorado.[2]

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]
