Women’s Soccer Holds Virtual Banquet, Releases Championship Video

BOCA RATON, Fla. – Coming off of the team's second straight Conference USA regular season title, but because of the current landscape, Florida Atlantic University women's soccer's postseason banquet was held virtually on Wednesday evening. Members of the program met on Zoom to celebrate the 2019 squad.

Heart of a Champion – Maddie Winch
Academic Excellence of a Champion – Alex Maxson
Community Service of a Champion – Elisha Holmes

"A great time was had on Zoom today with our players, coaching staff and High Performance Team, to reflect upon another championship season," said Baker. "We wanted to gather everyone and recognize our 2019 seniors, Live Like Champions Award winners, All-C-USA players, All-Southeast Region players and some of the other team awards. This is a special group of young ladies and we couldn't be more proud of them. Their commitment to excellence in the classroom, and on the soccer field, continually helps change the complexion of the program forever. The 2016 FAU women's soccer recruiting class will never be forgotten and they leave as the most decorated group at our school. We set the bar high and look forward to the 2020 challenges that are set before us."

Additionally, the "Road to the 2019 C-USA Championship" season highlight video has been released and can be viewed below:
