Josh Kirkland Named 1st Team All-America by D3Soccer.com

With the 2022 season becoming a distant memory, D3soccer.com belatedly announces its men's All-America teams. This marks the twelfth year that D3soccer.com has recognized the top men's and women's players from across the nation. The teams were chosen by D3soccer.com staff, informed by analytics, input from Division III soccer coaches and other knowledgeable sources, and our first-hand viewing. From a pool of over five hundred men's candidates based primarily on conference honors, approximately 100 players were identified and "short-listed" for All-America consideration. Our men's teams were drafted from this elite group of student-athletes.

University of Mary Washington senior forward Josh Kirkland was one of two forwards named to the first team. Kirkland led Mary Washington to the NCAA Division III Final Four, scoring 18 goals and adding three assists in 22 games played. He posted four game-wining goals, and adds All-America honors frm D3Soccer to a crowded mantel that includes United Soccer Coaches All-America honors, two Coast-to-Coast Athletic Conference Offensive Player of the Year awards, first team all-region and first team all-conference accolades. He was named the United Soccer Coaches National Offensive Player of the Week for the week of September 5, as well as conference player of the week.

Kirkland scored 18 goals and three assists this season for 39 points. He ranked ninth in the nation in goals, and 11th in goals per game.
