Botterill, Fearon named All-Americans

Two members of Cayuga Community College Men’s Soccer team have been named All-Americans after helping guide the team to a record-setting season.
Jacob Botterill, Cayuga’s all-time goals leader, and top defender Will Fearon were named 2024 All-Americans after leading the Spartans to a program-best 15-1 record. Botterill was named first-team All-American and Fearon second-team, and both were previously named first-team All-Region.
Cayuga Coach Chris Davison credited Botterill and Fearon for their work ethic in the off-season to prepare for a successful 2024, as well as leading and supporting their teammates throughout the season.
“Jake’s season was something we’ve never seen before at Cayuga, with 38 goals and 20 assists. Now he’s one of only four Spartans who have been named a first-team All-American,” said Davison. “For Will, it’s harder to make All-American as a defender, but he worked hard all year and all off-season. He stayed here this summer to compete and became a monster up and down the left side of the field.”
Botterill ended his career at Cayuga as one of the most accomplished student-athletes in program history. A two-time NJCAA Division III leader for goals scored, Botterill finished with 69 goals in his career at Cayuga, including 38 this season. He was also fourth nationally with 20 assists.
This year he was also named Region III and Mid-State Athletic Conference Player of the Year.
Fearon was a key member of a Spartans’ defense that set program records for fewest goals allowed in the regular season and postseason. He was also a valuable member of Cayuga’s offense, finishing second on the team and third nationally with 22 assists.
Botterill and Fearon were among the top players on the 2024 Spartans, who climbed to #2 in the national rankings and completed the first undefeated regular season in program history. Cayuga was also one of only two teams this season to defeat eventual national champion Mohawk Valley Community College.
