Nichole Meyer -- Midfielder -- Manteca, Calif.

Nichole is a crafty center midfielder from the central valley. Her club team, FC Rangers, is one of the top teams in northern California. They are three-time Cal North State Cup quarterfinalists. FC Rangers are coached by Vince Meyer. Nichole also has experience playing for FC Sacramento of the Women's Premier Soccer League (WPSL). The WPSL is the top amateur women's soccer league in the nation. FC Sacramento is coached by Danny Cruz. At the high school level Nichole was the 2007 Most Valuable Player for Central Catholic High School and is a three-time all-league honoree.

"Nichole is one of those players that can do special things with the ball. She can keep it, beat people 1v1, and slip the final pass to a forward all in the same sequence. Soccer players like that are not easy to find and we are lucky to have found one so close to home. She is another of our outstanding local products that has decided to play her college soccer near home." -- Coach Bolton
