Kevin Mulder was one of the most prolific scorers in Northern Intercollegiate Conference history and remains one of the top players to compete for Minnesota State University Moorhead men’s basketball. A four-year letterwinner from 1976 to 1980, Mulder earned All-NIC First Team honors three times and was named the league’s Most Valuable Player as a senior.
Mulder capped his career as the Dragons’ all-time leading scorer with 1,797 points, a mark that still ranks among the program’s best. He also totaled 1,016 points in conference play, the third-most in NIC history at the time and was one of the first players in league history to surpass 1,000 career points. He averaged 20.3 points per game as a senior and finished his career with a .678 winning percentage, helping MSU Moorhead to two 20-win seasons and a berth in the NAIA National Tournament in 1980.
An NAIA honorable mention All-American, Mulder was also a three-time team Most Valuable Player and ranked second in program history with 728 made field goals at the time of his graduation. He excelled in the classroom as well, earning Academic All-American honors and receiving the prestigious NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship.
Following his collegiate career, Mulder earned a master’s degree from the University of Northern Colorado and went on to become a longtime business owner. He has remained a dedicated supporter of Dragon men’s basketball since graduation. He and his wife Michelle live in St. Cloud, Minnesota and have three children and eight grandchildren.
