Joining the Wayne State Warriors in autumn 2008, Baldin scored her first career goal on October 18, 2008 at Union. It was also her first collegiate point. She finished 8th among CHA rookies with 18 point (seventh highest by any freshman in Warriors history).

On October 15, 2010, Baldin scored her 20th career goal in NCAA play. With the goal, she moves into a tie for ninth all-time in Wayne State Warriors women's ice hockey history.[1] On November 13, 2010, she earned her first career hat trick as Wayne State bested Robert Morris by a 4-1 tally. The goal she scored in the second period proved to be the game-winning goal, as she became the Warrior since Melissa Boal to register a hat trick.

On May 11, 2011, she was named team captain for the Wayne State Warriors upcoming season. Of note, she was the last captain in the history of the Wayne State Warriors, as the 2011–12 Wayne State Warriors women's ice hockey season was cancelled.
