Rogers added, "What most impressed us this season about Nicole is her willingness to ask for feedback and her unwavering determination to apply it. She worked hard every day and consistently improved. Her efforts on defense really helped the team as the season progressed and she played a key role in our final games. She really stepped up; congratulations to Nicole on this well-deserved honor."
