Northeastern announced Thursday that forward Tori Sullivan will join the team for the 2017-18 season as a transfer student after playing the past two seasons at Boston College.

In 81 career games with the Eagles, Sullivan racked up 55 points on 20 goals and 35 assists. She was named to the Hockey East All-Rookie Team in 2015 and earned Hockey East All-Academic Team accolades (2014-16), ACC Academic Honor Roll laurels (2014-16), and BC’s Athletic Director’s Award for Academic Achievement (2015-16).

“Tori is a high-quality, two-way forward with fantastic playmaking abilities,” Northeastern coach Dave Flint said in a news release. “She has already proven to be a top forward in Hockey East and we expect her to make a significant contribution to our team right away.”

Sullivan will have two seasons of collegiate eligibility remaining.
