Trio guided WolfPack teams to national tournaments this past fall

Three Madison College student-athletes were named National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) All-Americans this week after stellar performances during their 2025 seasons. Freshman Allie Andrews of WolfPack women's volleyball received first team accolades, while sophomores JJ Espinosa and Rodrigo Lasso of WolfPack men's soccer were second team honorees. The trio gives Madison College a total of 121, with Andrews becoming the 19th such recipient in women's volleyball and the duo of Espinosa and Lasso make it a dozen All-American distinctions for men's soccer. In addition to the NJCAA recognition, Espinosa also earned a spot on the United Soccer Coaches Junior College Division II Men's All-America Team.

Andrews, a setter and right side hitter from Darlington, Wisconsin, is the first NJCAA All-American for women's volleyball since 2021, and becomes the 11th to be placed on the first team. The honor comes after Andrews established a new single-season school record with 1,180 assists, becoming the tenth player in program history to reach the 1,000-assist plateau. She also delivered 131 kills, 49 aces, 286 digs, and 37.0 blocks as an all-around player. Andrews finished the season with a 11 double-doubles and one triple-double as she racked up 12 kills, 34 assists, and 12 digs against the College of DuPage on August 26. Andrews was also named the Region 4 Division II District A Player of the Year, as well as First Team All-Region 4.

Led by Andrews and a talented group of first year players, Madison College won their first Region 4 championship since 2015 and made the program's first-ever appearance at the NJCAA Division II Women's Volleyball Championships, which marked the school's fifth trip to a national tournament. The WolfPack finished with a 34-6 record.



Espinosa and Lasso, who were prep teammates at Beaver Dam High School, are the first Madison College men's soccer teammates to earn NJCAA All-American honors in the same season, and are the first since 2022 to receive the award. Both players were also named First Team All-Region 4.

Espinosa, a defender from Beaver Dam, Wisconsin, keyed a WolfPack defense that held the opposition to just 4.9 shots and 0.71 goals per match. In addition, he scored five goals and registered ten points. 

Lasso, a midfielder from Panama City, Panama, dished out seven assists, including a streak of four straight matches with an assist from October 15 to November 1. Lasso added three goals off 16 shots on goal to reach 16 points on the year. 

They teamed up with a core group of returning players and an influx of new talent to create a historic season for the WolfPack, going unbeaten through the regular season and Region 4 Tournament. The region championship was the first in Region 4 and the tenth in team history. It also resulted in Madison College's first appearance at the NJCAA Division II Men's Soccer Championships. The WolfPack ended the season with an 18-2-1 record.



In addition to Espinosa's recognition from the United Soccer Coaches, sophomore midfielder Suzy Hinds Cruz, a Madison, Wisconsin, native, was named to the Junior College Division II Women's All-East Region
