The Florida Atlantic University athletic program officially started off the 2013-14 season last weekend.
Friday's women's soccer match against Albany was the first official contest of the 2013-14 athletic calendar. The largest crowd to see a home FAU soccer match in five years was on hand as first-year FAU Head Women's Soccer Coach Patrick Baker's squad hosted the Great Danes.
On Saturday, the volleyball team took their headshots and team shots as they prepare to start their season this Friday. Sunday began with another nice crowd on-hand for the second women's soccer match. From there, many of the student-athletes stopped by the Oxley Center lobby to take their headshots, before making their way to the FAU Arena for the Student-Athlete Welcome Back Meeting.
The first weekend of the year is usually fairly hectic and this year was no exception, but on a positive note, the athletic year is underway and I get to take place in the part of my job I enjoy the most, getting to watch our student-athletes in action. This is looking to be an exciting year, and I'm glad I get to witness it firsthand.
