Nikki compiled a 26-12 record with 152 strikeouts and a 1.49 ERA her freshman year and was named second-team all-region. The next year, for the second straight season, she pitched her IHCC team into the national tournament where she had a game for the ages. Nikki pitched all 23 innings in a second-round game against the top-seeded team, losing a heartbreaking 3-2 decision. She came back and threw a shutout the next day and wound up the year with a 19-6 record and a 0.95 ERA that was the best in the state. A first-team all-region pick, Nikki was also named a first-team All-American. Her 26 wins as a freshman is the fifth-best total in a single season at IHCC and she is 1st in innings pitched, 2nd in appearances and 3rd in wins in a career.
