Fans of the sport in the Philadelphia region are certainly familiar with the Sullivans, especially with the meteoric rise of Heike’s youngest son, 14-year-old Cavan.

Heike Sullivan herself was also a soccer star, playing for the University of Pennsylvania during her undergraduate years and subsequently marrying another Penn soccer alumnus, Brendan Sullivan.
