Nikki Bevilacqua Class: Freshman Hometown: Cortland, Ohio. High School: Lakeview Height: 5-4 Position: F

Coach Falor's Comments
"Nikki is a bonafied striker through and through. She's confident finishing chances in the box and has excellent speed, both on and off the ball. There is a scrappiness to her play that will serve us well when the games come down to winning one-on-one battles. She gives us a very mobile threat up top to compliment our current forwards and should immediately improve how dangerous we are in transition."
