Another College Soccer 360 exclusive has returned –now updated to include the 2012 NCAA action through the quarterfinals – as we recognize a handful of Division I women's soccer players who hold the unique distinction of totaling 10-plus goals and 10-plus assists during the 2012 season. Only 11 players, seven of them from 2012 NCAA teams (two still playing), have reached double-digit goals and double-digit assists this season, with that short list including a pair of seniors – Dayton's Colleen Williams (18G-12A in '10; 16G-15A in '11; 17G-14A) and Boston College's Kristen Mewis (11G-14A in '11; 14G-12A in '12) – who have turned in multiple "double-double" seasons.

holds the unique distinction of reaching double-digit
goals & assists in each of the past two seasons
(10G-14A in 2011; 16G-12A in '12).
Penn State midfielder Christine Nairn (10G-11A) and Stanford forward Courtney Verloo (10G-11A) – a dangerous threat on corner-kick services – will take their games to San Diego for the 2012 NCAA semifinals, as two of the most recent additions to this Double Double list.
Florida State midfielder Dagny Brynjarsdottir (9G-9A) could join the Double Double list in the final week of the 2012 season, while the closest for North Carolina is Summer Green (7G-7A).
This page may be expanded later to include info. and links on the players, along with headshots, action photos, etc.
It's highly unlikely that the 2010 season with produce any players with 20-plus goals and 20-plus assists – a feat completed only 11 times in the 31-year history of Division I women's soccer (see list at bottom of this page), by four players from Notre Dame, three from North Carolina and one each from Santa Clara, Connecticut, UC Santa Barbara and UNC Greensboro.
Double-double lists for the previous two seasons (2010-11) also are included below. CS360 earlier release the "Dynamic Duos" list for 2012, highlight teams with multiple double-digit goalscorers. Two teams located in southern Ohio – Dayton and Miami, Ohio – have the rare status of being on both the Dynamic Duos and Double Double lists for 2012.
