Former Army West Point Volleyball Captain and 2024 West Point graduate 2LT Isabella Sullivan has been named one of the Patriot League’s nominees for the 2024 NCAA Woman of the Year Award. Sullivan is one out of a record 627 Division I nominees on the ballot for this prestigious award.

Earlier this year, Sullivan became just the ninth Patriot League student-athlete to receive a Rhodes Scholarship. On the court, Sullivan was a two-time team captain and helped guide the Black Knights to the No. 2 seed in the Patriot League Championship in each of the last two seasons, the team’s best seeding since 2015.

The San Antonio, Texas native served as the Regimental Commander for Cadet Basic Training in the summer of 2023, overseeing the training and development of 1,250 new cadets as they entered West Point. Sullivan has volunteered at West Point’s writing center, helping to develop a cultural competency training program that was adopted into Cadet Basic Training for the Class of 2025. She was one of the recipients of the 18th annual Coach Mike Krzyzewski Teach Character Through Sports Award, an honor that recognizes West Point cadet-athletes, coaches, officers in charge (OIC) and sports educators for their outstanding commitment to the development of noble character through athletic participation and leadership, as well as earning selection as a Scholar-Athlete of the Year from the Center for Enhanced Performance.

Sullivan graduated with her bachelor’s degree as an international history major with honors and will pursue a Master of Science in Evidence-Based Intervention and Policy at the University of Oxford starting in the fall.

The NCAA Woman of the Year selection committee, comprised of representatives from the NCAA membership, will choose the top 30 honorees with 10 from each division. Those top 30 nominees will be recognized, along with the announcement of the 2024 NCAA Woman of the Year, at the 2025 NCAA Convention in January.
