Montgomery College Freshmen Honored as All-American in Men and Women’s Soccer 

Andres Javitt and Luisa Navas Gonzalez received NJCAA Division I All-America Team honors for their standout performances during the 2021 soccer season. Javitt was named a Third Team All-American for Men's Soccer, and Navas Gonzalez received an Honorable Mention for Women's Soccer. The pair are the first Raptors to receive Division I All-America Team honors since the soccer programs transitioned to NJCAA Division One in the 2018-2019 season.

Javitt, a true Freshman originally from Barquisimeto, Venezuela, had an impressive debut season for the Raptors. Playing as an attacking midfielder, he completed the season with 27 goals and 11 assists, finishing second in the nation in both goals and points. Javitt's attacking threat led the Raptors to the program's first Region XX Championship since 2015 and the fifth regional in program history. 

In addition to his All-America Team selection, Javitt was named to the First Team All-Region XX team and the First Team Region XX Playoff team. He was also honored as both the MDJUCO and Region XX Student-Athlete of the Month for September.

The All-America Team recognition caps a strong first season for Freshman Luisa Navas Gonzalez. In 13 games, the winger scored 16 goals and provided one assist. Navas Gonzalez scored the game-winning goal in overtime in the Region 20 Championship game against Harford, bringing the Raptors their first Region title since 2016 and the third in program history.

In addition to her All-America Team selection, Navas Gonzalez was named to the First Team All-Region 20 team and the First Team Region 20 Playoff team. In addition, she was honored as the Region 20 Student-Athlete of the Month for September and as the MDJUCO Student-Athlete of the Month for October.
