CINCINNATI – Xavier Athletics celebrated the year in Musketeer sports on Wednesday night, when the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee hosted the fourth annual XSPYS. The event was made possible by the financial contributions of the All For One Fund. The event was held in the James and Caroline Duff Banquet Center at Cintas Center.
Xavier student-athletes voted on a number of categories, on and off the playing field, ranging from Best Championship Performance to Best Upset.
Samantha Dewey was named Comeback Athlete of the Year and Female Athlete of the Year after returning from an injury that limited her to five matches in the 2017 season to return in 2018 to lead the Musketeers on offense with 25 points, the most by a Musketeer in over a decade, and earn BIG EAST Midfielder of the Year as Xavier advanced to the BIG EAST Semifinals for the first time in program history.
