F * 5-7 * Jr.
Campinas, Brazil/Lincoln Memorial University
Conference USA Newcomer of the Year


Dos Santos transferred to UCF after spending two seasons with Lincoln Memorial University. She became the Knights' top reserve, coming off the bench to add a spark to the offense the entire season. Dos Santos played in all but one match, and accumulated four goals and four assists for 12 points. All four of those tallies came in C-USA games, which tied for seventh in the conference. Dos Santos posted eight points vs. SMU Oct. 14, which was one shy of the C-USA record for points in a match and two short of the UCF mark. In the 5-0 win, she recorded UCF's 33rd hat trick and added assists on the other two goals. She earned C-USA Offensive Player of the Week honors and was named to the Soccer Buzz Elite Team of the Week for that performance.

George, who did not have a point as a freshman last year, connected for eight goals, including three game-winners, and five assists for 21 points. Those 21 points rank in a tie for fourth in C-USA and she is seventh in goals scored. George tallied a goal in five-straight outings from Sept. 22-Oct. 12, and was selected as the C-USA Offensive Player of the Week twice.

She opened the year with a 12-save effort vs. Minnesota (UCF won, 2-1), which was the 11th most in Knight history.
