Sullivan saw action in 55 games across two seasons as a Wildcat. Following a junior campaign in which she averaged 10.1 points, the Antioch, Ill. native took her game to another level as a senior in 2025-26, pouring in 21.4 points per game, the third-highest scoring output in a season in program history, while shooting 53 percent from the field.
Named an All-Big Ten Conference pick by both the league’s coaches and media, Sullivan closed the year ranked fourth in the Big Ten in scoring and 13th nationally in the category. The 6-foot-4 forward reached the 20-point mark on 18 occasions and tallied four games with 30-plus points en route to surpassing 1,000 points for her collegiate career.
Sullivan joins a Kangoeroes Mechelen side that has established itself among the elite of the Belgian Top Division, winning four of the last five league titles. This past season, the team finished a perfect 28-0 against domestic opposition while also excelling abroad, advancing to the final 16 of the Women’s EuroCup.
