For the first time in Seward County history the Lady Saints women’s soccer team took the field in 2023 led by Coach Talcott where they went 1-13-3 overall in their inaugural season. Talcott helped lead the Lady Saints to their first ever win on September 20th on the road against the Coffeyville Red Ravens in a 1-0 shutout victory. He also helped showcase his players skills on a national scale as he helped Sydney Williams to earn NJCAA Goalkeeper of the Week honors on October 19th after being named KJCCC Goalkeeper of the Week as well. Following the season two members of the Lady Saints were named to the All-KJCCC teams with Natoya Atkinson being named to the second team and Dayra Dinarte earning Honorable Mention honors.

From 2016 to 2022 Talcott helped TJC to 132-20 (.868), including two NJCAA National Championships (2016 and 2017) and six National Tournament Appearances. The Apaches also won back-to-back NJCAA National Championships during Talcott's first stint in the 2009 and 2010 seasons. 

Before rejoining the Apache staff, Talcott was the Assistant Coach at North Area Iowa Community College from 2015-2016, the Head Coach at Cloud County Community College in 2013, and his first stint with TJC as an Assistant Coach from 2009-2010.
