Nicolette Pavlik, “Nikki” is a 2021 graduate of Holmdel High School, and has played and loved softball since she was only 10-years-old. She played for the Holmdel Hornets travel team and according to her family, Nicolette worked extremely hard before every season. “Her love and passion for the game was amazing. She would have intense workouts on and off season to get better and better,” according to Nikki’s dad, Dennis Pavlik.
Nicolette as a freshman played varsity softball for Holmdel High School. Unfortunately in 2020 with Covid there was no softball season her senior year. Nicolette continued her softball career and was committed to play softball for William Paterson University, Wayne, New Jersey. She spent a half year there and again there was barely a softball season due to Covid. Nicolette was one of the few players to continue from Holmdel High School to play collegiate Division III softball.
Nicolette then made a decision which she is thankful she did. She decided to come back home and attend Brookdale community college. She decided to continue her career in softball, local to her hometown.
She was recently named student of the month at Brookdale! Here is a short interview Nikki participated in while at college:

Where do you see yourself in five years? In five years, I see myself coaching softball full time.
What would you do if you won the lottery? If I won the lottery, I would like to have my own sports facility. I would also want to help family and friends who may need help.
What are your top 3 movies? My top 3 movies are: Elvis, Top Gun Maverick, and The Benchwarmers.
If you were a super-hero, what powers would you have? If I was a super-hero, the powers I would have is to heal sickness.
