The duo played seven AVP tournaments together, with a third place in Seattle and just one finish below fifth. For the season nine of their 12 match losses came to teams seeded fifth or better. The duo represented the U.S. in the Pan Am Games in Peru, winning the gold medal against two-time Olympian Ana Gallay of Argentina. 2018: Cook continued her partnership with Spieler, starting off the AVP season with a third place finish. The duo played seven tournaments together, finishing below seventh just once. Cook ranked seventh on the Tour in aces (.88 per set). Cook played in two FIVB tournaments, finishing 25th with Lauren Fendrick and 33rd with Spieler. 2017: Cook played one AVP event with Lara Dykstra, finishing 13th, and six times with Katie Spieler with a best of ninth three times. Cook tied for 10th in aces (.74 per set) and was ninth in kills (6.71 per set). 2016: Cook played five AVP tournaments with five different partners, playing in the qualifier each time. She played with Carly Wopat, Brittany Tiegs, Sara Johnson, Amber Walker, then finished in seventh place with Katie Spieler. 2015: Cook made her AVP debut in Manhattan Beach with Michelle Iafigliola. The duo advanced from the qualifier to place 25th.
