CHICAGO - Xavier women's soccer picked up the first win in program history against DePaul on Sunday, a 3-2 double overtime win, with the golden goal coming from Samantha Dewey on a penalty kick in the fourth minute of the second overtime.

After playing the first half to a scoreless draw, Xavier struck early in the second half with a goal from Allison Klimkowski, and extended its lead to 2-0 with a goal from Grace Bahr. DePaul responded with a pair to force overtime.

Xavier moved to 8-6-1 overall, matching last season's win total with four regular season games remaining. The Musketeers also move to 2-2-1 in BIG EAST play, standing in a four-way tie for fourth place with Providence, DePaul and St. John's.

64' | XAVIER | After a play off a free kick just outside the box came back to her, Grace Bahr shot from outside the penalty box, straight on for the 2-0 lead.
