Wheaton's Dimick Caps Career with Second Consecutive All-America Honor

NORTON, MA- Wheaton College field hockey standout Sara Dimick (Cumberland, ME/Greely) capped a record-laden career by earning National Field Hockey Coaches Association (NFHCA) All-America laurels for the second straight season. The senior co-captain earned a third-team nod.
 
Dimick, who was named to the second team following her junior campaign, was one of three New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) players to receive All-America honors. Thirteen of the 48 All-Americans hail from colleges in New England.
 
The forward led the Lyons this past fall in goals (16), assists (11) and points (43) while tallying four game-winning markers in 19 games. She finished atop the NEWMAC in assists, tying her own single-season school record, while placing third in the conference in points and fourth in goals. When Wheaton's season ended, Dimick ranked eighth nationally in assists per game, 13th in points average and 25th in goals per game. She tallied at least one point in 12 games and contributed to more than one goal in eight contests.
 
After recording 18 goals, 11 assists and 47 points during her junior campaign, Dimick was in position to set a pair of career program records this fall. On October 20 against visiting Mount Holyoke College, Dimick's 49th-minute goal gave her a school-record 101 points, as she became just the second Lyon to reach the century mark. She finished with 104 for her career. Dimick also surpassed the assists standard, completing her four years with 26. Her 39 goals are good for second.
 
This fall, Dimick was an NFHCA All-New England and NEWMAC All-Conference honoree for the third straight season. In addition to her season and career records, she matched a pair of single-game program marks. Dimick netted four goals, including the overtime winner, in Wheaton's opener against Salve Regina University on August 31 before turning in a trio of assists on September 29 at Smith College to go along with two goals that day.
 
Dimick helped Wheaton post a 13-7 record this season, as the Lyons went 6-2 in the NEWMAC while setting the program's conference wins mark. For the second straight season, Wheaton advanced to the NEWMAC Tournament semifinals and qualified for the Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) Tournament. The team's 28 wins over the past two seasons are the most in any two-year span in program history.
