Coach Rayfield on Denenberg: "Another well-rounded versatile player, Nicole has developed a strong technical foundation and has proven her ability to impact games at the high school level, leaving St. Ignatius ranked in the top five in every career scoring category (goals, assists and points). As she transitions to the college level and joins this multi-dimensional and multi-talented class, her ability to link players together as shown by her career assists will be important. That ability could develop in the future into a critical role of linking this class of attacking personalities together."
