With the 2018 season at a finish, the Pratt Community College women's soccer team continues to find ways to win. The KJCCC All-Conference Teams were announced on Nov 26. The lady Beavers managed to place three on this list including two freshmen and a sophomore.

Making the First Team All-Conference selection in the defender position was second-year player Cala Jamison. Jamison started in all 16 contests for the Beavers in 2018. She made a similar feat the prior season in 2017 where she played and started in all 17 contests for the blue and white as a midfielder and forward. The transition to defense payed off well for Jamison as she earned the most prestigious of All-Conference nominations among those from her team who were selected.

"Cala went from being a winger and the top goal scorer for us last year to one of the best outside backs in the conference this year. She adjusted well and the other coaches noticed that," said Head Women's Soccer Coach Ashley Burnett.

In only 15 appearances on the pitch, forward Quemberli Merida led PCC in scoring with eight goals that tied a school record for the most ever netted by an individual at Pratt. She did so as a true freshman and also contributed two assists during the season as well. Seven of her scores and both assists came in conference. Merida will have another season as a Beaver to build on as well where she will look to shatter and place records. However, her achievements this year have earned the honor of a Second Team All-Conference Forward.

"Q (Quemberli Merida) was a powerhouse up front by being the top goal scorer for our group. She made things very hard for the other teams' defense," said Burnett.

Freshman Midfielder Isabella Battaglia rounded out the list of the Jayhawk Conference's most elite. Battaglia, an Australian native, made the starting 11 for her squad each time they stepped on the field. She tallied a total of four goals and four assists, all of which came against conference opponents. Half of the goals booted in by Battaglia were game winners as well. She often served as the primary set-piece specialist for her team in many direct kick and corner situations.

"Bella controlled the midfield and was a key player for us this year, said Burnett. "I am very proud of the girls for receiving these recognitions. They are all very deserving of them."

PCC women's soccer will return to the Beaver Pitch in the Fall of 2019. Unit then stayed tuned to gobeaversports.com for all offseason updates.
