She averaged 16.0 points (7th in the conference), shooting 41.1 percent from the field, 8.4 rebounds (6th in the conference), 3.1 assists (16th in the conference), 2.1 steals (3rd in the conference), and led the team with 35.7 minutes per game (2nd in the conference). She hit her season-high in back-to-back games in the NCAA Tournament with 23 points - against Kentucky Wesleyan shooting 9-for-19, with nine rebounds, eight assists, and three steals, and against Glenville St. shooting 9-for-21, with nine rebounds, and three assists.

2019-20:

Nichols blossomed into a star as a sophomore, starting all 29 games at the point for the Dragons. Nichols finished the year as one of the best all-around players in the conference, ending as the only GMAC women's basketball player in the top-12 in scoring (T-10th, 14.6), rebounding (6th, 7.4), assists (T-5th, 3.2), and steals (T-12th, 1.6). Each of those numbers improved against conference competition, averaging 14.9 points, 8.7 rebounds, 3.7 assists, and 1.8 steals. The sophomore also scored in double-figures in 18 of TU's final 19 games with seven double-doubles during that stretch. Nichols also made her mark on the Tiffin season record books since the program joined Division II over a decade ago, ranking third in points per game, second in field goals made, third in free throws made, sixth in rebounds, tied for fourth in assists, and tied for sixth in steals. At the conclusion of the season, Nichols was named Second Team All-GMAC, becoming the first TU women's basketball all-conference honoree since the 2012-13.

2018-19:

Nichols had a great freshman campaign, playing in all 28 games, starting 18, and averaging 9.2 points per game (3rd on team) and six rebounds per game (led team). She also averaged 2.0 assists per game and 1.5 steals per game. She scored in double figures in 13 games, including a season-high 18 twice, first against Illinois-Springfield on 11/9 and again on 1/12 at Lake Erie.
