Dickey shared playing time with Samantha Leshnak in her freshman season with the North Carolina Tar Heels, making 17 appearances (6 starts). She came off the bench and converted a penalty kick in a shootout win against UCLA in the quarterfinals of the NCAA tournament. She was unused in the semifinals and final as North Carolina finished runners-up to Florida State in the 2018 championship game.[2] In her sophomore season, she made 26 appearances (11 starts) and became the starter by the end of the year. She allowed only one goal in three starts in the ACC tournament, which North Carolina won. She made a season-high 6 saves against Stanford in the 2019 national title game, but North Carolina lost on penalties after a 0–0 draw.[2]
Dickey played every minute of her junior season, which was shortened due to the COVID-19 pandemic. She led the nation with 15 clean sheets in 20 games and was named first-team All-ACC. In the ACC tournament, she opened scoring with a penalty in a 2–0 win against Virginia in the semifinals before losing to Florida State in the conference final. In the NCAA tournament, she allowed no goals until a 3–1 loss to Santa Clara in the semifinals.[2] In her senior season, she kept 7 clean sheets in 18 games.
