Jones Added to TopDrawerSoccer Best XI Second Team
5/24/2021 2:59:00 PM | Women's Soccer
DURHAM – TopDrawerSoccer.com released its postseason awards for the 2020-21 campaign on Monday as Duke sophomore Sophie Jones earned a spot on the Best XI Second Team.
Jones becomes the 10th player in program history to collect a Best XI postseason honor from TopDrawerSoccer. Duke now owns 12 all-time Best XI selections with each coming since the 2008 season.
The recognition adds to an already impressive list of accolades for Jones in her sophomore campaign. The midfielder from Menlo Park, Calif., was selected to the All-ACC First Team and ACC All-Tournament Team in the fall, and entered the spring season as a member of the MAC Hermann Trophy Watch List. After stellar performances in Duke's eight spring matches, she was tapped to the United Soccer Coaches All-America Third Team, becoming the 15th All-American in Blue Devils history.
Jones started all 21 matches in the 2020-21 season, emerging as one of the ACC's most consistent midfielders. She opened the season by dishing out two assists in Duke's come-from-behind win at Wake Forest on Sept. 10. After not getting on the board in her first 24 career matches, Jones broke out with three goals in a five-match span in the spring, including the game winner in double-overtime against Arizona State in the NCAA Tournament Second Round on May 1.
The Blue Devils have been represented on the TopDrawerSoccer Best XI teams in five of the last six seasons.
