Coach Gwydir on Nicole: “There are certain people on a team who are special and make you different than other teams. Nicole has the potential to be one of those people. She’s a lefty and a natural hitter. She’s also incredibly fast. Defensively, she covers substantial ground in the outfield. Last year she made some catches in foul territory that saved games.
