Bio

Nickie Kelly was a women's soccer standout for Georgian Court, as she was the 1996 CACC Player of the Year and received NAIA All-America honors during each of her four seasons -- including first-team honors in both 1994 and 1995. She led the Lions to 73 wins in 89 tries (73-9-7) over her four years and helped GCU capture three-consecutive CACC Championships and three-straight NAIA National Tournament berths from 1993-95. In the 1994 and '95 seasons, Kelly helped lead Georgian Court to the NAIA Final Four. She booted in a program-record 103 goals during her career and had her jersey No. 16 retired in 1997. Kelly was later inducted into the GCU Hall of Fame in 2003.
