Krstec also earned First Team All-C-USA honors and C-USA All-Academic recognition.
Daikeler has recorded a 3.95 GPA while majoring in biological sciences. Daikeler had a strong senior season and was a key component in FAU's strong defensive back line that posted a 0.95 goals against average. The Owl defense recorded nine shutouts on the season. Daikeler additionally received C-USA All-Academic honors last month.
