Welch had her best season as a junior in helping the Titans to the NCAA "Sweet 16," leading the team in scoring with nine goals and a four assists (22 points) en route to All-Big West First-Team honors. She became the first Titan to earn Big West Tournament MVP honors after scoring three times to help Fullerton to the title.

As a senior, she ranked second on the team in scoring (5 goals, 2 assists) despite missing 11 matches, and was named an NSCAA Scholar All-American for her work in the classroom.
