The postseason awards are starting to come in for the Clovis Community College women's soccer team.

After the Crush wrapped up an impressive regular season that saw them capture the program's first Central Valley Conference championship, the team was honored with four California Community College Soccer Coaches Association (CCCSCA) All-Northern California awards and an amazing 13 All-Central Valley Conference postseason accolades.

After leading the Crush to an 18-2-1 overall record and No. 2 seed for the upcoming regional playoffs, head coach Orlando Ramirez was named the CCCSCA Northern California as well as the Central Valley Conference Coach of the Year.
