Women’s Soccer Adds Another 2020 Newcomer in Duenkel

BOCA RATON, Fla. – The new class of incoming Owls for the 2020 Florida Atlantic University women's soccer season is now up to an even half-dozen, with Tuesday's addition of local Broward County product Teagan Duenkel.
Duenkel has plied her craft on the backline for Cardinal Gibbons High School and with her club team, Team Boca. She has earned All-State and MVP honors, as well as All-County First Team recognition. A two-time captain, she helped lead the Chiefs to three District titles, as well as a Regional championship and State finals appearance. For Team Boca – and for FAU head coach Patrick Baker – she has been part of two State titles and the 2019 Regional championship.
Why Duenkel chose FAU:
"I chose FAU because Coach Baker is not only extremely knowledgeable in the game of soccer, but he also treats every player like family, which is a big part of why the team is so successful. I have followed the Owls for many years, and I am thrilled to join the team as it continues to grow and advance. I also chose FAU because its Honors Program is known for its academic excellence, and the research department offers amazing opportunities. And of course, the beach is only five minutes from campus!"
Baker on Duenkel:
"We are excited to have Teagan join our FAU women's soccer program. She is a very talented student-athlete and will represent us well in the classroom and on the soccer field. With so many defenders graduating from our team last fall, we needed someone that had the versatility to play inside and outside back. Teagan is a natural lefty and has good range of passes and service. She will complement our freshman recruiting class very well."
The 5-9 defender joins the previously-announced five freshmen newcomers: Gabi Cimino, Madeline Crowe and Katie Houston (link), goalkeeper Amit Cohen (link) and forward Natalie Mangayi (link). They will join the Owls' returnees, many of which have been part of back-to-back Conference USA regular season titles, this summer. Matches for the 2020 campaign are set to begin in August.
