OVERLAND PARK, Kan. – The Unites Soccer Coaches recently announced its All-America Teams for the 2024 and Johnson County Community College had three players selected to the Women's Division II Team. 

Sophomore forward Maya Wallace, defender Emily Crosby and sophomore goalkeeper Maddox Fergus were among the 15 players selected this season. 

All three players were key in helping the Lady Cavaliers win Kansas Jayhawk Conference D-II, NJCAA Region 6 D-II and NJCAA District D-II titles and finish runner-up at the NJCAA Division II Tournament with an overall record of 19-1-4. Earlier this year, all three were also earned All-KJCCC Division II and All-Region 6 Division II first-team.  

Wallace was also named the KJCCC D-II Offensive Player of the Week four times and in the first week of the season garnered the NJCAA D-II National Offensive Player of the Week award.  Fergus too was named the KJCCC D-II Goalkeeper of the Week on four occasions, and was selected the NJCAA D-II Goalkeeper of the Week in the third week of the season. 

Wallace led JCCC, ranked second in the conference and ranked 20^th in the country with 46 points. She also ranked third in the conference and tied for 21^st nationally with 18 goals. She also produced four game-winning goals which tied for fourth in the conference. Wallace also had multiple-goal matches which tied for the fifth-most produced in a single season in program history.  At the national tournament, Wallace provided the assist on JCCC's second goal in a 2-0 victory over Anne Arundel, advancing the Lady Cavaliers to the national semifinals. 

Crosby and Fergus helped lead a defensive unit that led all NJCAA Division II programs with 19 shutouts, including 15 consecutively, and a goals against average of 0.41. JCCC's defense also only allowed 10 goals over 24 matches, second-fewest nationally.  

Crosby, who earlier this year earned NJCAA D-II first-team All-American, also came forward to score one goal on the year.

This season, Fergus finished the season 9-1-1 with seven shutouts, a goals against average of 0.68 and a save percentage of .847. She only allowed nine goals on the year. Fergus ranked second in the conference and 11^th in NJCAA D-II in goals against average. She was also second in the conference and tied for 13^th nationally in fewest goals allowed, second in the conference and tied for 18^th in the country in save percentage, led all conference goalkeepers and tied for 15^th nationally in victories and tied for second and ranked eighth in NJCAA D-II in shutouts.

At the national tournament, Fergus was named to the All-Tournament Team after allowing just three goals in the three matches she started, posting a 1-1-1 record. She tallied 15 total saves which rank as the second most recorded in national tournament play by a JCCC goalkeeper, but her most noteworthy saves came during the 12-round shootout in the national semifinal victory over Heartland. 

Facing a possible loss, Fergus saved the shot she faced in the fifth round to keep JCCC's chances alive. She also forced a miss in the 10^th round. The Lady Cavaliers went on to win the shootout in 12 rounds.
