MCC Player of the Year Sam Cohen was one of two Queen Bees named an Honorable Mention All-American
Sam Cohen and Ashley Dexter capped fantastic seasons by earning All-American honorable mention as announced by the NAIA today. The pair helped the SAU women's soccer team win the Midwest Collegiate Conference regular season championship and finish with an 18-2-1 overall record.
Cohen, a senior midfielder from Dunlap, Ill., was named the MCC Player of the Year after finishing third on the team in goals (seven), assists (five) and points (19) this season. She tied for eighth in the conference in assists and tied for third in the league with her three game-winning goals.
Defensively, Cohen helped an SAU defense that led the MCC in fewest goals allowed (16), goals against average (0.75) and shutouts (11).
Dexter, a freshman forward from Eldridge, Iowa, dominated the conference's offensive statistical categories from the start. She led the MCC in goals (19), assists (12) and points (50). Five of her goals were game winners, also the top mark in the conference.
The Bees rolled through the conference regular season with a 7-0-1 mark to win their third straight league championship. The team's season ended with a 1-0 loss to Grand View in the MCC Tournament Championship match.
