Redshirt junior named to the third team in the East Region
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - After leading Xavier women's soccer on offense in a break-through season for the program, redshirt junior Samantha Dewey was named to the All-East Region Third Team by the United Soccer Coaches.
Dewey appeared in all 21 matches for the Musketeers, collecting a team-high 25 points, a new career-best mark which topped her previous career-high point total of 22. Dewey's 25 points also marks the most for a Musketeer since Lauren Giesting's 25 points in 2003.
Dewey's 25 points came on team-leading totals in goals (9) and assists (7), the most goals by a Musketeer in over 10 years. Of Dewey's nine goals, four were game-winners this season.
In 2018, Dewey also earned BIG EAST Midfielder of the Year honors and was named First Team All-Conference, the first Musketeer to earn either honor, following Xavier's 10-8-3 season. The 2018 season marked the first winning record for the Musketeers since 2013 and the most wins for the program since 2003's 12-win season. The Musketeers finished a program-best fourth in the BIG EAST standings, hosting a BIG EAST Championship match for the first time since joining the conference.
Dewey also earned All-Tournament Team honors after Xavier advanced to the BIG EAST Semifinals for the first time since joining the conference in 2013, the first time the Musketeers have advanced in the postseason since 2003, when Xavier topped St. Joseph's, 2-0, in the Atlantic 10 tournament.
Dewey, a native of Indianapolis, Ind., came into the season on the BIG EAST Preseason all conference team, after leading Xavier on offense in her first two full seasons as a Musketeers. Dewey has totaled 73 points so far in her Xavier career, earning post-season conference honors in each of her three complete seasons. In 2016, she became the first Musketeer to be named to the All-BIG EAST Second Team as a sophomore, and was unanimously selected to the All-BIG EAST Freshman team in 2015.
