Coach Hutchison: “Nicole just loves the team. She has such a great mentality. She is just one of those athletes that is there for the love of the team, so I think her best attribute is that she's going to keep her teammates positive, and she's going to keep them going. She's going to push everyone. She has some academic commitments that will conflict with practice, but when she's around, she’ll be a team leader because she's vocal and positive. She gives so much in her role.”
