The most decorated athlete in Adrian College history has been signed by the Buffalo Beauts. The Bulldogs’ Kelly O’Sullivan, was the first four-time All-American in Adrian College history and is the third four-time first team All-American in Division III women’s hockey history.
She rounded out her senior season with four goals and 22 assists. The 22 assists put her in the top-25 all-time in career assists for NCAA Division III and second among defensemen.
She is the tenth women’s hockey player ever in the NCAA to be a four-time All-American and seventh ever in Division III. The 5-foot-7 blueliner scored 29 goals and had 85 assists for 114 points in 119 games at Adrian.
“Kelly is one of the best players to ever come through our program, and it’s very gratifying to see her achieve her goal of playing in the pros with and against some of the best players in the world,” said Adrian head coach Shawn Skelly. “She had one of the most decorated careers anyone can have in college hockey and I have no doubt she will continue that in Buffalo.”
“I am very excited to be signing with the Beauts and to begin my NWHL career in Buffalo,” said O’Sullivan
“I can’t wait to get out to Buffalo this fall to start training with the team. Go Beauts!” she continued. O’Sullivan is likely to benefit from immediate playing time in Buffalo.
