BOCA RATON, Fla. – Florida Atlantic's women's soccer team hosted the University of Miami last Sunday in a game that ended in a 1-1 draw. While no team came away with a victory on the pitch, there was still a winner. It was The Soup Kitchen of Boynton Beach.
As part of the team's ongoing efforts to give back to the community, a diaper drive was held in conjunction with the Taking Care of Our Babies program. Thanks partly to the record opening week crowds, the Owls delivered nearly 75 diaper packages to the Boynton Beach location on Monday afternoon.
Goalkeeper
Lexi Gonzalez, Midfielders
Noa Olivia Ganthier and
Madison Villanti, Defender Lelia Etemadi, and Midfielder were the lucky diaper delivery team.
