EVANSTON, Ill. (March 3, 2026) – Northwestern forward Grace Sullivan (Antioch, Ill./Carmel Catholic/Bucknell) has been named an All-Big Ten Conference selection, the league office announced on Tuesday. Sullivan received Second Team accolades from the Big Ten's media voters, while the conference head coaches tabbed her as a Third Team honoree.
Sullivan enjoyed an outstanding senior campaign, averaging 21.4 points per game, a mark tied for the third highest in a single season in program history. She closed the regular season ranked fourth in the Big Ten in the category and currently sits 14th nationally. Sullivan's 599 total points across her 28 appearances are the most by a Wildcat since Nia Coffey put up 711 points during the 2015-16 season.
A native of Antioch, Ill., Sullivan reached double figures in scoring 27 times, pouring in 20-plus points on a staggering 18 occasions. Her streak of seven straight games of 20 or more points from November 17 through December 14 was the longest by a Wildcat since the 1990-91 season.
Sullivan tallied a quartet of 30-plus point games, three of which came during Big Ten Conference play. The 6-foot-4 forward erupted for a career-high 37 points against No. 23 Ohio State on December 7 ahead of a 35-point showing at Indiana on February 1. Both efforts rank inside the top 10 on the program's single-game scoring chart.
In addition to the release of the All-Big Ten teams, the conference announced its 18 Sportsmanship Award recipients, with senior forward Lauren Trumpy (Camp Hill, Pa./Trinity) taking home the accolade for the 'Cats.
