Player of the Week: Dylan Mullin, Mansfield Soccer

Dylan Mullin

By HockomockSports.com Staff

Mansfield senior Dylan Mullin has been selected as the HockomockSports.com Player of the Week, presented by Morse Insurance, for Nov. 4 through Nov. 10. Mullin is the 10th athlete chosen as Player of the Week for the 2024-25 school year.

Mullin put together a stellar performance on Saturday night at Alumni Field, scoring twice and dishing out three assists to help the Hornets run away with a 7-2 win against No. 18 Longmeadow and reach the Div. 2 quarterfinal. The senior winger was a constant threat all night against the Lancers, as Mansfield upped its total to 12 goals scored in two playoff games and broke the program’s record for goals scored in a season (62, previous was 56).

“His performance this week was unbelievable,” said Mansfield head coach Steve Sheridan. “He played with a passion that I haven’t seen in a very long time. Last week he did something at practice that I didn’t like and called him out on it and for ‘not having any passion for the game’ — I believe that his performance this week was to prove me wrong, and I love when the boys prove me wrong!”

After playing well during Mansfield’s 5-0 win over Hopkinton in the first round, Mullin, who led the team in points during the regular season (three goals and 14 assists) was practically unstoppable on the right side against the Lancers. Just seven minutes into the match, his in-swinging corner was headed home by Cooper Austin for an early lead. Midway through the first half, Mullin danced past a couple of Longmeadow defenders and curled a shot inside the far post to double the lead.

In the second half, Mansfield scored five goals to pull away. Less than 10 minutes after the break, Mullin played a one-two with Amro Hosny and got to the end line on the right. His low cross was turned in by Dominic Nassif. A minute later, Mullin nearly had his brace but the shot caromed off the bar. Two minutes after Longmeadow made it 4-2, Mullin drew and scored a penalty to restore the three-goal lead. In the 64th minute, he added a third assist, starting his run at midfield and eluding multiple Lancers, Mullin slipped a through ball into the path of Nassif, who completed his hat trick to make it 6-2.

Mansfield hosts No. 7 Wayland in the D2 quarterfinal on Wednesday afternoon at 4:30
