Women’s Soccer 2020-21 Season Wrapup

BOCA RATON, Fla. – The 2020-21 academic year was affected by many things, and soccer was no exception. Due to the global pandemic, the regularly scheduled fall campaign for Florida Atlantic University women's soccer was postponed until the spring, and practices and matches were often altered even with the season's change.
Despite all of this, and a difficult start to the season, the Owls hit their stride in conference play, finishing just one point out of the Conference USA East Division lead with a 4-1-1 record, earning the division's second seed. The season would finish as the program's sixth winning campaign in a row, and include the team's sixth consecutive appearance at the postseason C-USA Championship.
Four team members earned All-C-USA accolades: First Teamer Gi Krstec, two Second Team honorees in Amanda Martin and Miracle Porter, and Sammy Vitols was voted Third Team. Those four also were tabbed All-Region by United Soccer Coaches, with Krstec and Martin chosen Second Team, and Porter and Vitols Third.
The team's net tandem of Cassidy Wasdin and Amit Cohen each earned C-USA weekly honors as Goalkeeper of the Week. Cohen gained C-USA All-Freshman recognition as well, while Wasdin extended the program's streak of eight straight years with a C-USA All-Academic honoree. Once more, the program as a whole made it five years in a row earning the United Soccer Coaches Team Academic Award.
With eligibility changes in place concerning the move of the season to the spring, normally departing seniors have the option to come back, and the Owls look to take advantage with the return of Krstec, Porter and Vitols. The vast majority of the 2020-21 team – along with a new incoming class – will take the pitch together again this summer in preparation for the regularly scheduled '21 season, to start in the fall as per normal in August.
