Coach McCaslin on Nichols:
"Karen is another player coming to us from the Jags.  She played most of her career as a forward, but has since spent most of her time of late as an outside back. She's got good size and speed.  She closes quickly on attackers defensively and finds herself in good spots to win the ball and connect to her teammates.  One of the things I really like about Karen is her ability to get forward from the back, and recover if and when needed."
