2018-19 – Senior: Saw action in six games as a reserve ... Made her season debut in a win at Brown (11/24) ... Also saw action at Dayton (1/9), vs. George Mason (1/16), vs. Rhode Island (2/10) and vs. Davidson (2/16) ... In a Senior Night win over Richmond (2/27), entered the game in the fourth quarter ... Grabbed her own rebound on a missed three-pointer before driving to the basket and drawing a foul, making the two free throws that followed.
Sullivan on UMass: "Growing up 25 minutes from UMass, I always came to basketball and hockey games as a kid so I always pictured myself coming here. It’s also a really great school academically so getting accepted was like a dream come true in a way."Before UMass: Lettered in basketball at Hopkins Academy, just down the road from UMass in Hadley ...
