Falcon standout earns Scholar All-America Third-Team honors from United Soccer Coaches
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (BGSU Strategic Communications) -- Bowling Green State University women's soccer standout Nikki Cox has earned yet another impressive honor. On Thursday (Dec. 16), Cox was named to the United Soccer Coaches Scholar All-America Third Team.
Cox is just the third women's soccer student-athlete in program history -- and the third in as many seasons -- to earn Scholar All-America honors from the organization.
Additionally, Cox was named to the United Soccer Coaches Scholar All-North/Central Region First Team, which was also announced on Thursday.
Cox, a native of Granville, Ohio, was named to the All-Mid-American Conference First Team in 2021, becoming BGSU's first-ever three-time all-league first-team selection. She also earned USC All-Region Second-Team honors, in the process becoming the first player in program history to earn all-region honors three times.
Cox registered 20 points this fall, ranking second on the team, and led the Falcons with eight assists. She scored the GWG in three matches this fall, including in each of BGSU's last two regular-season matches. In conference matches, Cox had nine points on three goals and three assists. She ranked sixth in the league in both shots (32) and shots per game (2.91) against MAC foes, and was tied for fourth in assists and assists per contest (0.27). Cox tied for sixth in the MAC in both points and points per game (0.82) and deadlocked for eighth in goals.
In her illustrious BGSU career, Cox had 66 career points on 24Â goals and 18 assists in 73 matches as a Falcon, and she ranks seventh or higher on all three school career lists.
Cox, who earned her undergraduate degree in human development & family studies at BGSU, currently is pursuing a Master's Graduate Certificate in Social & Interactive Media, and has a 3.50 cumulative GPA
BGSUÂ (11-7-3, 8-2-1 MAC) won both the MAC regular-season and tournament crowns for the fourth-straight season, and the Falcons advanced to the NCAA Championships for the fourth time in as many years.
The Falcons are now 58-26-11 overall, 39-9-2 in MAC regular-season matches and 48-10-4 in all games vs. conference foes since the start of the 2017 season.
Since the beginning of the 2018 campaign, the Falcons are 45-19-10 overall, 33-5-1 in MAC regular-season action and 40-5-3 in all games vs. league opposition.
