Angelina Amparano, Caitlyn Maher, Ernesto Osornio and Nicholas Bianchi named United Soccer Coaches All-Americans

Pima sophomores Angelina Amparano (Salpointe) and Caitlyn Maher (Catalina Foothills) were named to the 2022 Junior College Division II Women’s All-American Team by United Soccer Coaches.

Amparano, a goalkeeper, became the first Pima women’s soccer player to be named first team NJCAA All-American since Devyn Hunley (Sabino) in 2015. She played and started in 15 games, logging 1,273 minutes and finishing with 83 saves. Amparano surrendered just six goals and posted a saves percentage of .950.

Maher, a midfielder/forward, played in all 18 games; making 15 starts this season. She finished with five goals and a team-leading 11 assists. She scored a goal at the NJCAA Division II National Tournament and was selected to the All-Tournament Team. She was also named second team All-ACCAC and first team All-Region I, Division II. Maher played in 39 career games for Pima.

Pima standouts Ernesto Osornio (Ironwood) and Nicholas Bianchi (Pinnacle) were selected All-Americans on the men’s side.


This list will be updated all year in an effort to recognize all former local prep stars who have gone on to achieve either academic and/or athletic awards at the next level. These are not high school awards but collegiate and professional recognitions. NOT CHAMPIONSHIPS. If you are aware of anything I have missed along the way, please let me know. amoralesmytucson@yahoo.com
