On September 19, Sullivan made her senior international debut when she started and played 75 minutes in a victory over Switzerland. She went on to start all four matches the U.S. has played since and earned two assists. Sullivan previously represented the United States at all levels of youth soccer. She was part of the U-17 squad that won the World Championship in 2012 and was co-captain of the U-20 side that went to the 2014 World Cup.
Sullivan was injured during overtime against Santa Clara. It was a match Stanford later lost on Jenna Holtz’s golden goal. The second round loss was Stanford’s earliest since 2005.
