For her career, Golden is the all-time leader in program history for points (254), goals scored (111), and game-winning goals (18). She ranks third in school history for assists (32), games played (87), and games started (87). With those scoring totals, Golden will rank among the top-10 all-time in the NCAA record books.

Golden and the Nittany Lions finished the year 15-4-2 overall and 10-0-1 in the NEAC. The teams won the NEAC Championship for the sixth consecutive season after defeating Keuka College, 4-0, in the title game.
