Before SHU: Spent two seasons at Broward College (Fort Lauderdale, Fla.) of the NJCAA…two time FSCAA/NJCAA Region VIII All-State and First Team All-Southern Conference at Broward…as a sophomore, ranked 17th in the NJCAA with 19.2 points per game, ninth in steals per game (3.4) and 20th in assists per game (5.0)…as a freshman, went for 15.5 points and 4.2 assists per game while ranking 27th in the NJCAA with a 40.3 percent mark from 3-point range…led Broward to a 43-13 record in her two years with the program…in high school, was a two-time All-Dade First Team performer at Florida Christian.
Bozzella on Jimenez: "Cole is an example of a player that may be overlooked because of their size but has consistently shown throughout her career that she is not to be taken lightly as a scorer or a defender. We are looking forward to the competition she will bring to our guard position and think that she has the ability to be a star on both ends of the floor right away. Cole can really score the basketball."
MJ Baker, Jimenez' Head Coach at Broward: "Guards like Nicole don't come around very often. She is a leader on and off the court and is as tough as they come. Nicole inspires everyone to give their best and to enjoy life. She leads with her heart and is a winner!"
