*2024-25 SAC Newcomer of the Year

*2024-25 All-SAC First Team

2024-25 (Junior): The junior guard acclimated quite well in her first season in Mossy Creek. Sullivan led C-N in scoring, averaging 13.8 points per game while making 43 percent of her three-pointers, one of the most efficient marks in DII. The conference’s newcomer of the year and All-SAC first-team player scored in double figures 23 times and had 18 games with at least three assists. Her best scoring game of the year came on Jan 15, when she poured in 29 points and made 11 baskets in a 32-point win over UVA Wise. She scored 20 points or more in seven games, including four times in her first six games as a Lady Eagle. Recorded her first career double-double versus Wingate on Jan 19, scoring 17 points and dishing out 10 assists in the 36-point win. She became the first Lady Eagle to record a double-double with points and assists since Mika Wester's 18 points and 11 assists in a regional semifinal win over Lander in 2018. Sullivan buried three or more three-pointers 12 times, highlighted by a six for eight shooting day from deep in a 20-point win over Lenoir-Rhyne on Nov 16. Overall, she shot 50 percent or better 11 times and did so from long range as well. Sullivan drilled a team-high 82 percent of her free throws, averaging at least two makes per game.

Prior to Carson-Newman: Sullivan joins Mincey's program for the 2024-25 season after spending the past two seasons at Tennessee Tech. In two seasons with the Golden Eagles, The Former 4A Miss Basketball played in 33 games making two starts. She scored a career-high 12 points in a one-point loss to Missouri earlier on Nov 24.

The Knoxville native began making her name known when she started playing at The King's Academy in the 8th grade.

High School: During her first two seasons of high school basketball at The King's Academy, Sullivan was a scoring machine. She averaged 25 points a game as a freshman, topping 1,000 points in her first year, then averaged 17 points as a sophomore in route to becoming TKA's all-time leading scorer. As a freshman, she also averaged five rebounds and five assists a game, following up with seven rebounds and five assists a game as a sophomore. 

Entering her junior year, Sullivan transferred to Class 4A Bearden and was high school teammates with current Lady Eagle guard Emily Gonzalez. At Bearden, she averaged 12 points, five rebounds and five assists in the TSSAA's top classification, helping lead the Lady Bulldogs to championships in District 4-AAA and Region 2-AAA and advancing to the state tournament. With her effort, Bearden finished 14-0 in District 4-AAA and 30-2 overall, including an impressive 22-game winning streak. 

Her senior season, Sullivan was the TSSAA Class 4A Miss Basketball in 2022, leading her squad to a Class 4A state championship with an average of 15.3 points, 5.4 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 2.6 steals per game.
