King, Welsh make history as NJCAA First Team All-Americans

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – History has been made for the Jones College women's soccer program.
 
Sherline King and Hope Welsh have been named NJCAA Division II First Team All-Americans, the first time in program history with two first-teamers.

The duo was also named to the United Soccer Coaches All-American team.
 
King, a sophomore forward from Panama City, Panama, had a dominant season for the Bobcats.
 
She led Jones in goals (29), assists (eight) and points (66) this season and ended her career with a school record 54 goals. She had eight game-winning goals this year.

She scored five goals in an 8-1 win over East Mississippi on Oct. 21, four goals in a 7-2 win over East Central on Oct. 3 and all four in the 4-3 win over No. 1 Johnson County (Kan.) Nov. 18 in the NJCAA Division II Tournament.
 
King, an Oklahoma State signee, was First Team All-MACCC and NJCAA All-Region 23, as well as the MACCC Player of the Year.
 
She was also named an NJCAA Division II First Team All-American and United Soccer Coaches All-American as a freshman.
 
Welsh, a sophomore defender from London, England, led a back line that allowed only 1.5 goals per game and posted six clean sheets. She is only the fourth defender in program history to be named to any all-american team. Over two seasons, she started 25 of 28 matches played.
 
King and Welsh helped the Bobcats to a 14-6-2 record and national semifinal appearance in the NJCAA Division II Tournament.
 
Fifteen Jones players have been named all-americans in program history.
