The report says Sullivan scored a hat-trick, supplied an assist and struck the decisive free kick late in the contest. Her set-piece reportedly flew just beneath the crossbar, settling a match that had swung repeatedly between the two sides.
The performance also reportedly moved Sullivan to 59 career goals, making her Rumson-Fair Haven’s all-time leading scorer after surpassing Margot Ridgeway’s previous mark, established in 2017. Sullivan is also reportedly committed to Duke University, adding another significant milestone to an already prominent high-school career.
Rumson-Fair Haven built a 3-1 advantage before Middletown North fought back through Peyton Kulka, who reportedly scored twice during the late recovery. Sullivan was also credited with the assist on Summer O’Malley’s goal, underlining her influence beyond finishing chances.
Herkimer’s praise focused on that broader contribution. “Ela não se coloca em um pedestal e se vê em igualdade com as demais”, the coach said, describing a player whose leadership is reportedly felt throughout the team rather than reserved for decisive moments.
That balance may be what makes Sullivan so difficult to contain. Her technical quality creates danger from open play, while her confidence over free kicks gives Rumson-Fair Haven another route to goal when matches become tense.
The next fixture will show whether the unbeaten side can carry this momentum forward-and whether Sullivan’s record-setting run is only beginning.
