Samantha Dewey Scores Game-Winner in 2-0 Win at Dayton
09.13.18 | Women's Soccer
Musketeer defense posts fourth-straight shutout
DAYTON, Ohio - Samantha Dewey's third tally of the season was her second game-winner, helping the Musketeers to a 2-0 win at Dayton on Thursday night. Xavier (5-4-0) posted its fourth straight shut-out win in the final road game of the non-conference schedule.
The Musketeers and Flyers went into the break in a scoreless draw, but Dewey broke the tie shortly after halftime on an assist from Sydney Schembri. In the closing seconds of the game, an own goal from UD set the final margin at 2-0 in favor of the Musketeers.
49' | XAVIER | Just after half time, Sydney Schembri, from the right side of the box, crossed to Samantha Dewey at the top of the box. Dewey worked past multiple defenders and shot to the left corner to put the Musketeers up 1-0 with the eventual game-winner.
90' | XAVIER | In the closing seconds, Dewey dribbled the ball to the endline on the right side of the box and passed to the left side, looking for Grace Brauer. A UD defender knocked the ball in with three seconds remaining to put Xavier up 2-0 as time expired.

NOTABLE |
- Samantha Dewey's tally was her third of the season, bringing her team-high point total to eight.
- This is Dewey's second game-winner of the season, and the second of her career against Dayton. Dewey also scored the game-winner in Xavier's 2016 win at Dayton, one of her two goals in a 3-1 win.
- Sydney Schembri's assist brings her point total to four for the season, second most on the team.
- Xavier led 14-12 on shots, and 8-2 on shots on goal.
- Eight Musketeers attempted shots, led by four for Samantha Dewey, which include a pair on-frame. Grace Bahr and Sydney Schembri each had a pair of looks on-goal as well.
- Dayton led 7-2 on corners.
- Toni Bizzarro posted a third-straight shut-out win, collecting two saves with no goals against.
- Hayley Jakovich, Allison Klimkowski and Grace Bahr played the full 90 on the Xavier backline.
- Andie Kennard made a critical save on the goal line in the first half to help keep the Flyers off the board.
- This was the fourth-straight shut-out for the Musketeers, clocking over 370 minutes straight without allowing a tally. It's the longest such streak since 2013.
- This marks the first time since the late 90s that Xavier has won back-to-back games a Baujan Field, dating back to a 1997 regular season win and the 1998 A10 Championship game that sent the Musketeers to the program's first NCAA Tournament.
- Xavier's four-game win streak is the longest since 2003, when the Musketeers won six straight.
