STANFORD, Calif. – Senior midfielder Andi Sullivan is a nominee for the Honda Sport Award for soccer, as announced Wednesday.
A three-year captain and the 2017 Pac-12 Midfielder of the Year, Sullivan capped her remarkable Stanford career with a goal in the Cardinal's 3-2 win over UCLA in the College Cup final on Dec. 1. A four-time All-Pac-12 first teamer, Sullivan was recently named first-team All-America for the third time and All-Pacific Region for the fourth time.
Sullivan owns seven caps with the full United States National Team, and has 20 career goals and 19 career assists. Stanford's leader on the pitch, Sullivan took up a deeper role in 2017 after pacing the team in goals (11) and points (29) in 2016. She controls the tempo of play, can interchange with any of Stanford's four defenders, break up play with her tackling ability, accurately deliver set pieces and is a threat to make powerful runs into the box.
She is an active participant in soccer clinics for Female Footballers and the Bay Area Women's Sports Initiative, and has worked with the Cupertino and Hillsborough American Youth Soccer Organization (AYSO) programs.
The Honda Sport Award has been presented annually by the CWSA for the past 42 years to the top women athletes in 12 NCAA- sanctioned sports and signifies "the best of the best in collegiate athletics". The winner of the sport award becomes a finalist for the Collegiate Woman Athlete of the Year and the prestigious 2018 Honda Cup which will be presented on a live telecast on CBS Sports Network on Monday, June 25, 2018, in downtown Los, Angeles.
