“Niki is everything you expect in a defender.  She has a tremendous physical presence and an in your face attitude.  But if you judge her solely on her grit and intimidating presence you would be remiss – Niki is also an extremely talented technical player who will fly forward to join in the attack.  She is not your typical bruiser.  Niki can deliver a pin point ball into a midfielders feet and sprint past her opponent before they even know what has happened.  She is a joy to watch play because of that element of surprise she has.  Off the field she is absolutely one of the brightest personalities.  She brings some Cali flair to the team … and a little bit of her father’s Greek side will often shine through.  I can see her quickly becoming a favorite around campus with her friendliness and fun demeanor.”
