Senior Season — 2017
Battling injury, Pullano was limited to just one start and one appearance as a reserve in her final season on East Hill. She played a total of 76 minutes with one shot on goal.

Junior Season — 2016
Pullano remained a key piece of the Big Red's forward corps, finishing tied for third in team scoring with three points on one goal and one assist. Her second collegiate goal came Sept. 4 vs. Syracuse, when she alertly directed in a rebound off a ball caroming off the post and back into the 6-yard box. Pullano's assist came two days prior, when she sent a ball into the path of Paige DeLoach on her way to scoring the game's only goal against Loyola.

Sophomore Season — 2015
Pullano appeared in all 17 games for the Big Red as a regular part of the forward rotation. She started four games, the first of which was a Sept. 17 game at Seton Hall where Pullano scored the only goal in the ninth minute. The strike was Pullano's first collegiate goal, and she also added an assist in a 2-0 win over Akron on Sept. 6 at the Alumni Classic, hosted by St. Bonaventure.

Freshman Season — 2014
Pullano was one of just four players to appear in all 17 of the Big Red's games, fulfilling a role as a forward reserve. Her two assists were tied for third on the team. The latter of the two helpers came on Brenna Mockler's strike in a 1-0 victory over Dartmouth in the season finale, which lifted the Big Red to its best Ivy League and overall win totals in a single season since 2002. Pullano's first assist was also a difference-maker, as her deep cross set up Shanay Fischer for a 100th-minute overtime winner Sept. 21 at Binghamton.

Pullano played her club soccer with Empire United Soccer Academy, including three seasons on the state-wide team. Her squad won four New York State West and State Cup championship, advanced to the semifinals of the 2012 Disney Showcase Tournament, and made it to the finals of the 2012 Jefferson Cup Showcase. Pullano also played five seasons for Penfield HS, where she was named a 2013-14 National Soccer Coaches Association of America All-American and a memeber of three all-state teams. That included a first-team selection following her senior season, when she was also named the Monroe County Division 1 Player of the Year. She was named team MVP twice, named to her all-league first team four times and the NSCAA High School All-Region team twice.
