Women\u2019s Soccer Keeps Winning <\/strong><\/p>\n

The Johnson County Community College women\u2019s soccer team is unstoppable. With a perfect record<\/a>, they are on pace to beat their previous all-time win\/loss record of 17-2<\/a>. This week, the Cavilers beat Southeast Community College and Kansas City Kansas Community College in two very different matches.<\/p>\n

The team steamrolled Southeast Community College, winning 15-0<\/a>, a near unheard of scoreline in soccer. The Cavs followed up this performance with a much tighter win against KCKCC, 2-0.<\/p>\n

This week the women will be presented with one of their toughest challenges yet. On Wednesday Oct. 1, the JCCC women\u2019s soccer team visit St Charles Community College at 2:30 p.m. St Charles has a record of 11-0-1<\/a>. While a tough test, the Cavilers will be able to relax a bit more during this Saturday\u2019s game against Allen County Community College at 2 p.m. Allen County\u2019s women’s soccer record is 4-3-1<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately for passionate Caviler fans, both women\u2019s soccer games are away this week; however, it won’t be too long till the Cavs are back home in the JCCC Soccer Complex<\/a> the following week.<\/p>\n

Women\u2019s Volleyball Faces Ups And Downs<\/strong><\/p>\n

The past two weeks have been a roller coaster for the JCCC Women’s Volleyball team, but they came out of it with more wins than losses.<\/p>\n

The Cavs played Kansas Jayhawk Community College Conference<\/a> foe Cowley County Community College <\/a>Tigers at home on Sept. 17, getting swept in three straight sets<\/a>, 24-26, 23-25, 19-25.<\/p>\n

Two Days later, the Cavaliers bounced back and beat the Central Community College Raiders<\/a> from Columbus, Nebraska.<\/a> 3-1<\/a>. \u00a0Ava Esser<\/a> led the team with 17 kills, out of the team\u2019s 64.<\/p>\n

On Sept. 20, Johnson County played two games in the annual JCCC Challenge<\/a>.\u00a0 They beat Lincoln Land College Loggers<\/a> from Springfield, Ill.\u00a0 3-1<\/a>. Sophomore Avery Ringgenberg<\/a> had a team-high 14 kills for the match. Later the same day, JCCC swept the Northeast Community College Hawks<\/a> out of Norfolk, Nebraska<\/a>. Esser led in kills again.<\/p>\n

Following the successful 3-1 week, Cavalier sophomore outside hitter Avery Ringgenberg <\/a>and freshman setter Campbell Chabot<\/a> were named the KJCCC Division 2<\/a> Volleyball Player and Setter of the week.<\/p>\n

Last Wednesday, in their only game of the week, the Cavaliers lost an away match in Iola, Kansas, against the Allen County Community College Red Devils.<\/a> The heartbreaker went (25-21, 19-25, 23-25, 25-15, 18-20). Through six weeks, the Cavaliers are 13-5 overall<\/a> and 2-2 in Kansas Jayhawk Conference play.<\/p>\n

JCCC Women\u2019s Volleyball Prepares For Key October Matchups<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Johnson County Community College women\u2019s volleyball team is gearing up for two critical conference matchups next week. The Cavaliers will face Coffeyville Community College on Wednesday, Oct. 1 at 6 p.m., followed by a showdown with Highland Community College on Friday, Oct. 3, also at 6 p.m. Both matches are part of the KJCCC regular-season schedule and will be hosted at home.<\/p>\n

Coffeyville<\/a>, traditionally a competitive opponent, comes into the match with a reputation for aggressive serving and quick transitions. Highland<\/a>, on the other hand, is known for its defensive consistency and long rallies, challenging teams to maintain focus deep into each set.<\/p>\n

Fans can follow live stats and streaming through the JCCC Athletics website<\/u>, which provides updates on team rankings, individual player stats, and upcoming game details.<\/p>\n

These next two matches could play a pivotal role in determining postseason seeding, making them must-watch events for Cavaliers supporters and KJCCC volleyball fans alike.<\/p>\n

Men\u2019s Soccer Looking To Turn Things Around<\/strong><\/p>\n

Following a grueling schedule, Johnson County men’s soccer team is looking for a possible turnaround approaching midseason.<\/p>\n

Last Wednesday, the JCCC men’s soccer team hosted Southeast Community College in an evenly balanced match<\/a> where the Cavaliers found themselves toiling to even the score twice. Both teams fought hard but had to settle for a 2-2 draw after 90 minutes. Freshman defender, Jarret Pecher, and his two assists helped Johnson County secure its third draw of the season.<\/p>\n

Saturday, the men tied again<\/a>, this time against Kansas City Kansas Community College, after losing a 3-1 lead they held in the first half.<\/p>\n

The Johnson County men’s soccer team looks to rebound Wednesday when the Cavaliers hit the road to play against St. Charles Community College at 4 p.m. To top off next week’s schedule<\/a>, JCCC will face off against Allen County in a <\/strong>conference matchup. JCCC comfortably beat Allen County 3-0 at home at the beginning of the season, but this time around Allen will host Johnson County.<\/p>\n
