Mushovic was named to the All-Ivy first-team for the second-straight season as a libero after averaging 5.60 digs per set, which was good for fifth in the nation. Her 549 digs last season were the second highest season total ever at Cornell, trailing only her own school record of 598, set as a sophomore. In only three seasons, Mushovic has amassed 1,612 career digs, shattering the old career record of 1,356, previously held by Kelly Kramer. Her career average of 5.45 digs per set is also a school record. During her junior campaign, Mushovic recorded double-digit digs in 24 of 25 contests, including 17 matches with over 20 digs and two matches with over 30. She also led the Big Red in aces, with 30, tallied at least one ace in 16 contests, and had 10 matches in which she had a perfect reception percentage.

Sophomore (2007): Mushovic, the Big Red’s most valuable player of the year, averaged 6.16 digs per game her sophomore season, which was good for eighth in the nation. With a total of 598 digs, she broke Cornell’s record for digs in a single season as well as the record for digs per game. In just two years, Mushovic has totaled 1,063 digs which ranks her sixth in the Big Red career record books. She is just 294 digs shy of breaking the record. In a match against Harvard on Oct. 12, Mushovic shattered a personal and school record notching 50 digs in the five-game match. Her 50 digs led the country in total digs in a match this season. Mushovic led the team in aces with 34, while notching four in matches at Columbia (Sept. 30) and Harvard (Nov. 10). The libero recorded at least 10 digs in every contest during her sophomore season, and tallied at least 20 digs in 14 matches. Mushovic also received first-team All-Ivy honors.

Freshman (2006): Mushovic became one of the Big Red’s defensive mainstays as a rookie, leading the team with 4.60 digs per game good for third among the Ivy. A second-team All-Ivy honoree, she is second in the Cornell record books for digs in a season with 465. Her 4.60 digs per game is also good for third. The two-time Ivy League rookie of the week led the team with 27 aces for the season including notching five against Hofstra at the NCAA tournament.

A three-time first-team all-league selection at Coronado HS, Mushovic was named league most valuable player as a sophomore outside hitter. A first-team all-area pick as a senior and second-team selection as a junior, Mushovic was chosen as team MVP in each of her final three years. She was a member of two league champion teams and was selected to play in the San Diego high school all-star game. Mushovic was chosen to receive the ISF Award by the Islander Sports Foundation in 2005. A three-sport star, she also excelled in soccer and track and field.
