"Our daughter went through the recruiting process with Coach Nicole. She was absolutely wonderful as well as her dad, Coach Rich. We had read reviews prior to our visit. The coaches completely set any concerns to rest. They know what they are doing and their goals are clear for this team and the future. It was very apparent all the girls love their coach and their team culture is excellent. Everyone was happy and it truly seemed to be a family environment. We were truly impressed with Coach Nicole and how personable she was and her ability to really relate to our daughter. In the end, our daughter went a different way but it was hard to turn down such an amazing community and Coach at Anderson. We love Coach Nicole and Coach Rich and can’t wait to cheer on this team!!"

"Let’s judge the coach on the job she was hired to do—not on a narrative created by a now twice-fired ex-coach. Whenever a new coach takes over a program, there are going to be people who are happy with the change and people who aren’t. That’s reality. But before we pile on, how about we actually give Coach Nicole a chance to build the program? Coach Nicole is young, and so are the majority of coaches in college athletics today. What she may lack in years of head-coaching experience, she makes up for with an incredibly successful collegiate career, a deep understanding of the game, and a genuine passion for developing the next generation of players. Almost any coach can teach the X’s and O’s. What separates a great coach is the ability to take that knowledge, communicate it, build confidence, create a culture, and inspire players to compete and believe in themselves. That’s what Coach Nicole brings. She is extremely dedicated to her players and to the job. She wants these young women to have the best possible four-year college experience—both on and off the field. At the same time, make no mistake: she is fiercely competitive and wants to win. She has already shown what she is capable of, and now she deserves the opportunity to put her vision, experience, and leadership into the program. You don’t have to agree with every decision a coach makes. That’s part of sports. So, how about we give her a fair opportunity to lead, build, develop, and win before we decide what kind of coach she is."

"Coach Nicole is the type of coach you want coaching your daughter. She is kind but direct, motivational, honest, driven, and incredibly dedicated to her players. She cares about winning, but even more importantly, she cares about building a strong culture and making sure her players have a meaningful four-year experience—both on and off the field. Coach Nicole had an incredible collegiate career, and she has taken everything she learned as a player and turned it into a successful program. Last season, her team finished with an impressive 8-2 conference record, and with a record number of high-level recruits coming into the program, the future is incredibly bright. If you’re looking for a coach who will challenge your daughter, believe in her, develop her, and genuinely care about her experience, you’re in good hands with Coach Nicole and her staff. The wins matter—but the culture, the relationships, and the experience these young women have over the next four years matter even more. That’s what makes Coach Nicole special."
