It's not every four years, it's every day.

In the past four years, Nuveman has become one of the most respected athletes in sport of
softball. A 2000 Olympian, this No. 33 catcher began her days guarding the plate as a child when her
father , Tom, coached a little league baseball team and she wanted to play so her parents signed her
up for softball. Her hard work paid off in a scholarship to UCLA where she dominated the collegiate scene. Still today inspired by room for improvement, the 6’0” home run hitter continues her softball profession during off months through a series of clinics and camps and recently was a color commentator for College Sports Television as well as the 2003 Women’s College World Series on ESPN. After getting married in January to Mark Deniz, this former Bruin and 2002 sociology graduate says “the balance in my life is paramount. I enjoy softball more and perform better when I feel that sense of balance; knowing it is a huge part of my life, but not everything.”
