DENVER – University of Denver graduate student Sami Feller was named to the Top Drawer Soccer Division I Preseason Best XI Third Team, TopDrawerSoccer.com announced on Tuesday.
 
The Grand Junction, Colorado, native has also earned preseason recognition from United Soccer Coaches as a Midfielder to Watch and was named a Summit League Player to Watch as well.

Feller is coming off a 2021 campaign in which she earned a place on the United Soccer Coaches All-West Region Second Team, marking her fourth regional team honor. She scored twice during the 2021 season and added 11 assists, which ranked No. 19 nationally. She was also ranked No. 16 in the country in assists per game (.58).
 
The graduate student returns to Denver in 2022 for a fifth year of eligibility awarded as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
 
This is the second time that a Denver women's player has earned a spot on a TDS preseason team and the first since Kristen Hamilton was also named to the third team in 2013.
 
Feller will help lead DU when the team kicks off the 2022 season against San Diego at home on Thursday, August 18. Game time is set for 7 p.m.
