She finished the year with a team high .448 OBP and 7 home runs, collecting 25 hits and 19 RBI. As a sophomore, she was voted captain and received All-Conference honors after starting in every game at P/1B. She led the team with a .443 AVG, .516 OBP and recorded 35 hits and 26 RBI over 24 games. As a pitcher, she threw 129 innings over 22 games pitched and 20 complete game starts. Despite a rigorous schedule, she finished the postseason with a cumulative 3.14 ERA and 100 strikeouts, throwing her first varsity no hitter in the Section 1AAAA opening game. As a freshman, Nora was a letter winner and started in 22 of 24 games at 1B/P (missed two due to quarantine). She made her first MSHSL State Tournament appearance in 2021 after Lakeville North won the Section 1AAAA Championship.

Outside of high school softball, Nora plays for the Waves 16U National team as a corner infielder and pitcher, and is in her fourth season with the program. She was selected to play in the Midwest Fastpitch Showcase for two consecutive years (2021-2022).

She has led and assisted with youth clinics and individual instruction for over three years, and is also an assistant 10U coach in the off-season. Nora is a student of the game and enjoys working with young athletes.
