Nicole is a terrific midfielder. She has excellent hustle on the draw circle to come away with the 50/50 ground balls. She also contributes in the redefend creating caused turnovers with her clean checks and securing the ground ball to jump start her offense. Nicole dodges well in her 1v1’s to cage with good shot placement. She is dynamic with both hands making her a dual threat to guard. Her off-ball movement is good as she cuts hard to receive the pass and get her hands-free while being tightly marked inside the 8-meter. Nicole displays good field vision seeing her open teammates off-ball to thread the needle for an assist. She will continue to highlight more defensive clips on team defense of sliding to ball, double teaming, etc.
