While enduring losing seasons his first two years, Ullom has been on a roll ever since, making the Lady Hilltoppers the West Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic Conference's most successful program claiming four tournament championships, three regular season championships, and six NCAA appearances while averaging 21 wins per season. The 2001-02 season was the most memorable with the school sporting a best-ever 27-4 record and being among the nations's best D2 programs in scoring margin and defense. After posting a dismal 13-14 record in 2004-05 (the program's first losing season since 1993) the Hilltoppers rebounded nicely in 2005-06, going 23-7 and went 21-10 in 2006-07.
