Nicole Kristen Powell (born June 22, 1982 in Sierra Vista, Arizona) is a basketball player who was a standout in college and now plays in the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA).

College years

Powell played the forward position for the Stanford University women's NCAA basketball team. During her tenure there, she broke many school records (including the all time points and rebounds records), she has been named an All-American twice, and she has won a large amount of awards. She majored in urban development.

She is the only female basketball player in her Pac-10 division's history to have achieved multiple triple-double games (that is, 10 totals or more in three different statistical categories) during the same season.

WNBA career

Powell was picked #3 overall by the Charlotte Sting in the 2004 WNBA Draft. She was used by the Sting as a utility player, having appeared in 31 games.

On March 3, 2005, she was traded to the Sacramento Monarchs in a multi-player deal. The trade greatly aided the Monarchs in the 2005 season while Powell enjoyed a breakout year and eventually was named the recipient of that year's WNBA's Most Improved Player award. She played a pivotal role in the Monarchs' 2005 WNBA Finals victory over the Connecticut Sun.

International career

In 2003, Powell helped the United States women's national basketball team win a silver medal at the Pan American Games in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. She also helped national teams win a bronze medal (in the Czech Republic) and a gold medal (in Argentina) at two other international tournaments.
