Kajan earns All-America honors for the first time in her career
After guiding the St. John's women's soccer team to a historic season that was capped by an appearance in the NCAA Tournament Round of 16, graduate forward Zsani Kajan was tabbed to the United Soccer Coaches All-America Second Team.
Kajan, who was selected to the United Soccer Coaches East Region First Team earlier in the week, garners the accolade for the first time in her career. The Budapest, Hungary, native is just the third player in program history to be named a United Soccer Coaches All-American joining Rachel Daly (2013 and 2015) and Georgia Kearney-Perry (2015).
Â
Kajan, the 2021 BIG EAST Offensive Player of the Year, is coming off one of the finest seasons in St. John's women's soccer history. The 5-foot-7 forward recorded 17 goals in 23 games this year to lead the league and rank inside the top-five among Division I opponents.
Â
Kajan netted a conference-high seven goals during BIG EAST action and registered at least one point in seven of 10 conference games to finish atop the league ledger with 17 points.
Â
Kajan put up five multi-goal games on the year, including a pair of hat tricks against Saint Joseph's on Aug. 21 and Creighton on Oct. 24. With two three-goal outings this season, Kajan is the only player in program history to record four career hat tricks for the Johnnies.
Â
Kajan climbed the program's all-time list for a number of career records this season. With 45 goals and 101 points, Kajan concluded her Red Storm career second overall in both statistical categories.
