Sullivan helped lead No. 3 Mines to a 2-0 start in conference play last week as Mines remained undefeated with a record of 5-0 overall. CSM opened RMAC play at home on Friday posting a 5-0 victory against Mesa State. The Orediggers picked up a 2-0 win on the road at UC-Colorado Springs on Sunday.

A junior midfielder from San Juan, Trinidad & Tobago, Sullivan tallied a goal and three assists in Mines’ two matches last week. Sullivan scored his second goal of the season in CSM’s win over Mesa State. Sullivan also added a pair of assists. Against UCCS, Sullivan notched the assist on the goal that proved to be the game-winner. The top assist man in the RMAC, Sullivan has four assists so far this season and ranks in the top five in the RMAC in points.
