Senior forward was recently tabbed All-Big Ten Conference selection
EVANSTON, Ill. (March 11, 2026) – Following a standout senior season, Northwestern University forward Grace Sullivan (Antioch, Ill./Carmel Catholic/Bucknell) has been named to the watch list for the Lilly Women's College All-Star Game, it was announced on Wednesday.
The 2026 Women's College All-Star Game will feature the top senior standouts who are on the precipice of hearing their names called in the WNBA Draft. Of the nearly 100 players who appear on the watch list, 20 will ultimately be selected to participate in the event, which will be televised by ESPN2 at 1 p.m. CT from Phoenix, Ariz. on Saturday, April 4.
Recently named an All-Big Ten Conference selection by both the league's head coaches and media, Sullivan averaged 21.4 points per game, a mark tied for the third highest in a single season in Wildcat annals. She closed the regular season ranked fourth in the Big Ten and 14th nationally in the category.
Sullivan piled up 18 games of 20-plus points, including four outings with 30 points or more. The 6-foot-4 forward's career-best 37-point outburst in the Wildcats' clash with No. 23 Ohio State on December 7 is tied for fifth on the program's single-game record board.
The Lilly Women's College All-Star Game will provide the country's brightest college stars one final opportunity to represent their programs and be recognized against the backdrop of the sport's championship weekend.
The complete watch list can be found on the event's website at www.womenscollegeallstar.com. The final event roster will be announced the week of the event. Participants in the Lilly Women's College All-Star Game will be players who have exhausted or will forego their remaining eligibility.
