 From the United States Naval Academy Foundation, 2011 Issue 1, "Major Nicole Anuapu Mann ’99, USMC, who starred on the women’s soccer team and was Patriot League Scholar-Athlete of the Year in 1999, still draws on her playing days for coach Carin Gabarra. Mann is a Marine Corps test pilot with well over 1,000 flight hours. “Playing sports at the Academy forced you into situations where you had to learn leadership skills,” Mann said. “Getting ready to play a game equals the same kind of feeling I get before I fly.You’re strapped into a 40,000-pound jet, headed for a mission over Iraq or Afghanistan. You’re nervous and excited and it’s game time. It’s time to perform. Then, you take off and you’re playing in the moment.”

Sounds like she was a pretty good athlete in college, similar to Lt. Com. Glover who was a two sport D-1 athlete.
