Green Valley women's soccer player Nicole Westover has been named to the 2012 National Soccer Coaches Association of America/Adidas All-America team. Nicole has also been named to the NSCAA Region VIII all-region team. These are extremely selective honors, with only 16 players from the Western region (California, Nevada, Arizona, Oregon, Washington, and Hawaii) earning all-region recognition and only 80 players nation wide selected to the All-America team. Nicole's excellence on the field as a player and a leader has made her one of the best high school soccer players in the nation. Nicole is a senior, captain, and four year starter for the varsity team. As the team's center back, she has helped propel the Gators to four straight division titles, three consecutive region championships, three state championship appearances and an NIAA 4A state championship in 2010-2011. During her four years at Green Valley the Gators boasted the best defense in Nevada leading the state in fewest goals allowed this season giving up only 6 goals in 20 matches. Nicole has committed to UNLV for the fall of 2013 and will continue her soccer career here in Las Vegas as a Rebel. Congratulations Nicole on a well deserved honor!
