2009: For the second time in her career, Dixon was named a Louisville Slugger/NFCA All-South Region performer, this time as a first-team member to go along with second-team honors earned the season prior.

With a solo shot in a Feb. 13 matchup against Drake, Dixon became Arkansas' all-time leader in home runs. She also led the team with 12 multi-RBI games, including a three-RBI effort against Drake and a four-RBI day against UMKC. She bested those marks with two home runs and six RBI in Arkansas' 11-9 victory at No. 13 Oklahoma to give the program its first win on the road against the Sooners. In the circle, Dixon was the team's No. 1 starter and came away with a 17-13 record with a 4.13 ERA. Along with the career-best 17 victories, she totaled a career high of 136 strikeouts. Dixon was named SEC Pitcher of the Week following a 4-0 mark in conference games against Mississippi State and Kentucky. She also enjoyed an eight-game winning streak during the season to go along with 16 complete games, three shutouts and an SEC-leading four saves.

On four occasions, Dixon had three hits during the season. Against No. 7 Oklahoma in the Norman Regional, she knocked a game-tying, two-run home run in the bottom of the seventh inning to send the game into extra innings. The Edmond, Okla., native made program history by being the first Razorback to be named SEC Pitcher and Player of the Week in the same season. Dixon earned conference player honors (Feb. 26) after batting .733 on 11-of-15 hitting  with seven runs scored and 10 RBI. She was the SEC’s Pitcher of the Week (April 21) by leading Arkansas to its first conference sweep of the season with two wins in the circle against Kentucky. During the season, Dixon also enjoyed a nine-game hitting, picking up 19 hits during that stretch. In the classroom, she was an ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District performer and a member of the 2008 SEC Spring Academic Honor Roll.
