JCCC women\u2019s soccer team looks unstoppable<\/strong><\/p>\n

The No. 2-ranked<\/a> Johnson County women’s soccer team secured three victories this past week, adding 11 goals and 3 clean sheets to its perfect 9-0 record.<\/p>\n

The Cavaliers<\/a> showed depth in their offense, having eight different players hitting the back of the net. The defense continues to dominate, leading the division with seven matches without giving up a goal.<\/p>\n

The team’s success can be attributed to key player performances: Sophomore Avery Young, who leads the NJCAA D-II goalkeepers in multiple categories. Sophomore Brecken Hoy leads the team in scoring with eight goals. Freshman Darby Howard has become the team’s playmaker with six assists.<\/p>\n

The Cavs returned home Saturday with hopes of extending their winning streak against Pratt Community College, which they did 6-1.\u00a0 They play another away game against Southeast Community College Wednesday Sept. 24 before they host rivals Kansas City Kansas Community College next Saturday Sept. 27.<\/p>\n

Men\u2019s soccer splits the week<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Cavaliers men\u2019s soccer team\u2019s roll was slowed a little this week as they split two matches. After losing a road game 2-0 to Neosho County last Wednesday<\/a>, they bounced back with a home win against Pratt College <\/a>on Saturday. That leaves the Cavs with a 6-3-1 overall record and 2-1 in conference play.<\/p>\n

A big part of that success comes from coach Jeff Cole<\/strong><\/a>, who has essentially built this roster from scratch. Sergio Hernandez Marquez, a freshman forward, was recently<\/strong><\/a> named <\/a>NJCAA Division II Player of the Week<\/em><\/a> for his attacking spark, while Daniel Wozniak, a freshman goalkeeper, claimed Goalkeeper of the Week<\/em> honors after anchoring the defense during a three-game shutout stretch.<\/p>\n
