Coco’s Story is Serving as Encouragement to Local Girls Until her grandmother dragged her to the Pompey Park gymnasium recently, Sheryl Malone knew very little about tennis superstar Cori “Coco” Gauff.

“I heard people talking about this young girl who played tennis, but I didn’t know anything more about her, … who she was or where she was from,” the Delray Beach teenager said after meeting the teen champ. “But after what I heard today, she is definitely a good role model and one day, I would like to be just like her.”

Malone,14, was among about 130 family, friends and fans who attended Gauff ’s “Welcome home from Wimbledon” celebration inside the gym Saturday evening. The event, which was also attended by Delray Beach Mayor Shelly Petrolia, Deputy Vice Mayor Bill Bathurst, City Commissioner Ryan Boylston and Chief of Police Javaro Sims, was moved indoors at the last minute because of what Gauff ’s aunt, Joi Odom, called “liquid sunshine.”

As I scanned the g ymnasium, I counted less than 40 young girls under the age of 17. I think that gymnasium should have been packed considering what she represents to young people in

her hometown.

“Coco is a huge role model for girls her age and younger. She is showing us girls that anything is possible if we put our minds to it,” said Asianna Livingston, 15, of Delray Beach. “My peers … wish they can be like her because she has accomplished so much at a young age, and the City of Delray Beach is really proud of her.”

While visiting Pompey Park recently, I noticed Gauff was speaking to her grandpa, Eddie “Red” Odom, via FaceTime from England.

He was telling her how proud he was after she began generating frontpage stories and international buzz as the youngest competitor to qualify for the Wimbledon Tennis Championships since 1991.

Several kids were holding court around him and asking, “Is that the real Coco?”

(Coincidentally, the baseball fields at Pompey Park are named after Odom and are just feet away from the clay tennis courts where Gauff grew up training and the same courts where Venus and her sister Serena Williams spent their formative tween years practicing

in the 1990s.)

It was then that it dawned on me that these kids, whom I am certain did not see the match, were witnessing a historic moment. Only days earlier, the 15-year-old had knocked off her longtime hero, Venus Williams, in the first round of Wimbledon, and then beat Magdalena Rybarikova in dominating fashion, before pulling off a comeback over Polona Hercog that will live on in Wimbledon lore.

Her victory thrust the country into Cocomania.

She became an inspiration to youths all over and urged them to give their best and never give up.

“To all the young girls and boys out there, you can do whatever you want as long as you work hard and stay dedicated. The road isn’t always easy,” Coco, who has absolutely nothing to lose and whose confidence is at an all-time high, told the crowd on Saturday. “Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise, not even your parents. It’s ok to be crazy sometimes. Crazy is good.”

She added: “A lot of people may say I’m crazy for dreaming so big, but I think you shouldn’t just reach for the

sky when you can reach for the stars. I think the possibilities are endless.”

She has learned not to let naysayers on social media affect her performance on the court. And even when she was down by two points, she remained focused and determined, thinking on the advice of the late football coach and principal C. Spencer Pompey, through her grandpa, “Never say die.”

I have had the privilege to see Coco off the court and away from the cameras and limelight and she is just like any other teen despite her tennis prowess.

In fact, when a reporter asked her how she plans to spend the nearly $200,000 in Wimbledon winnings, with the innocence of a child, she said, “I mean, I can’t buy a car because I don’t drive.”

She however said she may buy some hoodies.

As you listen to her, you will see that Coco is beyond the fame and gold medals. She is indeed a young woman who cares about all young girls and wants to see them succeed.

Her perseverance and positivity are exactly the kind of influence all parents should want in their daughter’s life.

Repeat the Necessary as Often as Needed!

The verb “repeat” is part of the vocabulary of any language; it’s also an inescapable necessity in human activities and personal interactions. In the ancient world, the Hebrew verb “shanah” which means “repeat” became synonymous with the verb “to learn” as boys in their synagogue schools learned through repetition, for better memory retention.

Repetition can indeed aid one in understanding more accurately what was stated. Repetition of an action alOctober 15 - October 21, 2021

so helps ensure that its purpose is being met with the quality of excellence it is intended to manifest!

This important practice also allows persons to revise what they’ve said, especially when it is not of life or death significance. A person is not to be viewed as a liar just on account of having changed the mind based on new information secured, even when that alters a previous condition or prior understanding. That’s why an explanation can be given repeatedly until all concerned are fully informed!

In personal conversations, or in public announcements, those not willing to repeat their messages in some ways are indicating that what they’re sharing is not that important, much less necessary to know.

However, if a message is significant and worthwhile, there’s nothing wrong in proclaiming them from the roof tops, utilizing every means available to ensure that the messages gets out, and that multitudes benefit from what is being announced.

After all, that’s how new and old

products encounter and retain customers. On radio and in television, crowds are being bombarded by creative ads until as many individuals adopt those items as part of their life, and continue purchasing them everywhere they can be found.

Assuming that you have a message, whether to one or to many, don’t hesitate sharing it as frequently as necessary, and the need is to be determined by your hearers, not necessarily by your personal decision as to when to stop sharing it!

As the Pandemic Recedes Community Activities Move from Virtual to InPerson The Holidays are upon us and with them come a number of activities for the family to enjoy.

The much-anticipated Machu Picchu and the Golden Empires of Peru exhibit arrived at the Boca Raton Museum of Art last month. It will be here through February 2022 but to avoid disappointment, reserve your tickets in advance to secure a preferred date and time to experience this blockbuster exhibition.

Go to BocaMuseum.org/Golden to purchase your tickets now. For assistance in booking your tickets or answers to questions about Machu Picchu and the Golden Empires of Peru, you can contact our box office by email at: Tickets@BocaMuseum.org or by phone 561.392.2500 x228.

ABOUT THE EXHIBITION Embark on a journey through time and discover a culture that thrived in a mythic world. Explore the world premiere exhibition, Machu Picchu and the Golden Empires of Peru! Behold the marvels of engineering that sheltered a truly spiritual civilization and the ornate riches they once cherished.

This all-new, immersive museum experience will transport you to the jewel of the only cradle of civilization in the Southern Hemisphere, the Incan city of Machu Picchu. You will walk among a stunning selection of 192 artifacts from royal tombs that include spectacular objects that belonged to noble Andean lords. Here you will plunge into the Amazon rainforest and come face-to-face with one of the most impressive collections of gold treasures to ever tour the world.

Rivaled only by Ancient Egypt in longevity and by the Roman Empire in engineering, Andean societies dominated a substantial segment of South America for over 3,000 years. Nestled in a cloud forest, this great Inca Empire’s enduring symbol of architectural prowess is protected by twin sacred mountains and is invisible from below.

Further adding to its unrivaled beauty, the fl ourishing landscape of Machu Picchu has restored much of the original biodiversity that it enjoyed in Incan times through a recent reforestation initiative.

In this dramatically staged expedition, the

sounds of roaring jaguars, screaming macaws, and torrential rainfall are all around you as you unravel the mysteries of Andean cosmology and marvel at the sophistication of Andean artists.

Guided by Ai Apaec, a mythical Andean hero, visitors will gain a window into transformation through the forces of nature that result in his death and subsequent rebirth. In this world, nothing is fixed and beings can change from one form to another. Dive into this magical universe in Machu Picchu and the Golden Empires of Peru.

The holiday season will officially be kicked off on Friday November 19th with the Holiday Tree Lighting at Mizner Park Amphitheater.

At 5:30PM a Holiday Stage Show will entertain attendees with performances, music, and fun. At 6:45PM the highlight of the evening will be the ceremonial lighting of the City’s tree led by Mayor Scott Singer, which will illuminate simultaneously with Mizner Park’s 47-foot animated tree at the south end of the center.

At 7PM, attendees can view a spectacular fireworks display above the MPA and at 7:15PM the evening will conclude with a holiday movie screening under the stars on the MPA lawn. This year’s feature film is Home Alone. Bring your own blankets and chairs or rent a chair for $5 (while supplies last).

This year’s theme will be “What Are You Streaming?” a nod to the popular pastime in recent years.

As a reminder, traffic will be congested in the area as Federal Highway will be closed.

Destroyed Trust Difficult To Restore Have you ever considered how much we trust in the gasoline pump to tell us how many gallons or liters (outside of the United States) of fuel we have just pumped? Also, trusting the pump is properly calculating the price per gallon? When I was young I heard stories about gasoline stations manipulating pumps for personal gain. As a result, the petroleum industry and retailers became regulated to protect consumers.

If we want to purchase a used car, we are dependent on the salesperson’s honesty to tell us about the vehicle - how it has been driven and maintained, problems it might have, the kind of fuel economy we can expect, and other things. When we go to an auto repair shop, unless we are mechanically inclined, we find ourselves at the mercy of the people working there. They diagnose the problems, tell us what will be required to fix them, and then inform us what it will cost. We must trust them.

But businesses related to motor vehicles are not the only ones that test our level of trust. Certain types of business lend themselves more to temptation than others because of the potential for misrepresenting product quality and quantity. Because of the necessity to trust the weights and measures used by the supplier are accurate, customers are often at a disadvantage.

As consumers we face a considerable challenge - whom can we trust, and how can we know for certain we can trust them? However, there also is a challenge for businesses, owners and employees. Will they yield to the temptation to provide less than expected, or charge a fee higher than warranted? In reality, short-term gains can

www.bocaratontribune.com

easily lead to long-term losses. If you destroy the trust of customers and clients, “repeat business” that sustains an enterprise can disappear.

In the Bible’s Old Testament, Leviticus 19:35 teaches,”Do not use dishonest standards when measuring length, weight or quantity. Use honest scales and honest weights.”One reason for this teaching is that it is the right, ethical and moral thing to do. Also, once a person or business becomes known for dishonest practices, word spreads quickly.

I have known of several instances when a business unknowingly overcharged a customer, only to discover the error after the invoice had already been paid. The error could have been ignored, and the customer might never have known about it. But as one business executive stated, “I would know - and God would know.”

Trust is critical in business. Sadly, just one indiscretion can wipe out the trust of your customers and destroy your business.

The Bible repeatedly talks about the rewards of honesty and integrity, and the consequences of dishonesty and deceit: Deception will be revealed. When one is not forthright and honest with a customer or client, the greatest fear is being discovered. “The man of integrity walks securely, but he who takes crooked paths will be found out”(Proverbs 10:9).

Dishonesty will destroy. Integrity provides security, while dishonest and unethical actions pose constant danger.”The integrity of the upright guides them, but the unfaithful are destroyed by their duplicity” (Proverbs 11:3).

Tri-Rail Has One of the Best 100 Halloween Costumes Donated Pandemic Recoveries Among All to Fuller Center by Junior League US Commuter Rails of Boca Raton By: Robert Weinroth County Commissioner Robert S Weinroth wants residents of the tri-county area to know the South Florida Regional Transportation Authority (SFRTA) has had much to celebrate lately, despite a year (and a half) of living through a worldwide pandemic and all of the effects that came along with it.

The agency’s Tri-Rail service was reported to have the second highest ridership recovery among commuter railroads in the U.S., per the American Public Transportation Association’s Public Transportation Ridership Report for First Quarter 2021, and since then continues to show one of the biggest percentage ridership increases in the nation.

“We are the comeback kid,” said Steven Abrams, SFRTA Executive Director. “August numbers show we have more than half of riders back onboard Tri-Rail on weekdays and over 60% on weekends.” Tri-Rail ridership plummeted 80% when the pan-

demic hit, but trains are now transporting more than 8000 riders regularly. The agency reached 9,000+ passengers for the first time since March 2020 on September 1, 2021.

Tri-Rail recently celebrated reaching 100 million passengers served on July 9, 2021, after 32 ½ years of service. One indicator that has certainly helped attract more riders is the train system’s recent on-time performance (OTP), reported at 96.76% in August 2021.

This is the highest OTP reported in the agency’s history, surpassing the previous record set in July 2019 at 96.64%.

“Our success in surviving the pandemic is due to the support of our loyal riders, our dedicated staff, and the greater community,” said Abrams. “Tri-Rail enables thousands of workers and students to safely and affordably get to work and school and takes cars off the road for everyone else,” Abrams added. “That is why we take our mission so seriously and look forward to continuing to be an asset to South Florida’s residents and visitors.”

The Fuller Center has received more than 100 Halloween costumes depicting essential workers from members of the Junior League of Boca Raton. Fuller Center students will wear the costumes during the Center’s Inaugural Hero Walk: Honoring Our Hometown Heroes, which will take place on Saturday, October 23rd from 9 a.m. – 12 p.m. at Boca Raton Innovation Campus (BRiC), 5000 T-Rex Avenue, Boca Raton. The Walk will celebrate all of the everyday heroes among us, including essential workers, doctors, nurses, teachers, child care workers, home health aides, store clerks, delivery drivers, and other frontline workers.

In addition to the one-mile walk, the event will include children’s activities, a live DJ, and a very special presentation by the Fuller Center children. Breakfast, snacks, and beverages will be available. A first responder’s area featuring vehicles from the Palm Beach County Fire Rescue and FPL

will also be displayed.

“We are so grateful to the Junior League of Boca Raton for these costumes that help pay tribute to our everyday heroes,” said Ellyn Okrent, CEO of Fuller Center. “The kids will be thrilled to wear them!”

Junior League members donated the costumes as part of their “Done in a Day” community service work and volunteers from the League will also be on hand to help with the walk.

The event cochairs are Dr. Patricia Anastasio, Carolina Doering, and Mary Sol Gonzalez. Major sponsors include ADT, FPL, Patricia Anastasio MD of Advanced Pediatrics of Boca, Modernizing Medicine, BRiC and CP Partners. Tickets are $10 per person until October 15th, and children under 12 are free. To purchase a ticket or to become a sponsor, visit https://www. ffcdc.org/special-events/2021-hero-walk/ or contact Alana Lagerström at 561-6091668 or email alagerstrom@ffcdc.org

3 Tips for Shinier, Healthier-Looking Hair (StatePoint) Whether you’re attending a rescheduled wedding, reentering the workplace or just want to look your best this fall, shiny tresses look good with every outfit and on every occasion. However, if your locks are looking a bit dull, don’t stress -experts say that not only is it completely typical to need a bit of a refresh this time of year, but that this is an issue you can resolve on your own.

“Every head of hair needs a bit of post-summer TLC,” says Jonathan Colombini, celebrity hairstylist. “The good news is that you don’t need to wait for your next salon appointment. This can also be achieved at home.”

Here are Colombini’s top secrets for keeping your hair glossy and gorgeous on a daily basis at home: Eat for Hair Health A hair-healthy diet can promote hair growth and shine. Be sure your diet includes important vitamins and nutrients like iron,

biotin, protein and vitamins A and C. On a daily basis, eat a wide range of whole fruits and vegetables and good-for-you sources of protein and iron, such as lentils, nuts and fish.

Use an At-Home Treatment A toning gloss is a service typically performed in a hair salon to enhance hair color, tone and shine, and now you can give

yourself this same treatment at home with no special professional skills required.

Suitable for all hair types and textures, as well as both color-treated and natural hair, the new Le Color Gloss by L’Oreal enhances color and tone, boosts shine and deeply conditions in one step, to leave hair looking healthy. Available in nine shades, you can tone the color you have or use the clear option for a shine-enhancing, ultra-moisturizing hair treatment. Whichever your preference, here’s how to use the product most effectively: 1. Evenly distribute Le Color Gloss through clean, damp hair all the way through the ends (use a wide-tooth comb for thicker curly hair textures).

2. Leave it on for 5-15 minutes. (Review instructions for specific development time for your shade and desired result.)

3. Rinse your hair thoroughly with water.

“While the effect lasts around 10 days, you can build a deeper result and maintain

shiny hair and a fresh-looking hair color tone by repeating the routine once a week,” says Colombini. “I recommend using it in the shower on your shampoo day.”

Some toning products can damage hair, so be sure to look at the ingredients of the product you select. As Colombini points out, Le Color Gloss is made of a coconut oil-infused deep conditioning base and is color- and keratin- safe, making it a great way to promote shine without causing damage. To learn more, visit lorealparisusa.com.

Rinse Cold While warm water works best for washing hair, you should always rinse with cold water. This is because cold water helps to seal the cuticles that were just opened to reflect light better and give your hair a healthy-looking shine.

Don’t wait for a special occasion or for your next salon visit. With the right strategies, shiny hair can be an everyday indulgence for you this fall season and beyond.

How to Protect Teens in the Age of Social Media (StatePoint) If you’ve been worried about your teen’s social media usage, it would seem your concerns are now legitimized by hard facts and figures.

Recent Congressional testimony by former Facebook data scientist Frances Haugen supports the notion that Facebook and its photo-sharing app, Instagram, can be harmful to young users. Haugen recently presented internal studies revealing the negative mental health impacts of Instagram and told Congress that Facebook has prioritized growth over its users’ safety.

Those who have been working toward keeping young people safe online for years say that parents will need to step up to protect their kids.

“Parents should not rely on social media networks to ensure their children’s safety online,” says Michele Havner, director of marketing at Eturi Corp., maker of OurPact, a leading parental control and screen time app. “This is one of the many reasons why we’ve developed OurPact so parents can teach smart digital habits and protect their kids.”

According to Havner, here are a few ways you can help protect teens in the age of social media: • Set digital schedules. Feeling “addicted” to social media and screens in general is comPlus

mon. However, setting digital schedules can help ensure that you and your teen are leading a balanced life.

• Block unwanted apps and websites: Ensure your teen is only using apps and visiting sites that are approved by you. Using parental control apps to block apps, websites and contacts as needed can help you protect your child from unsafe people and content.

• Maintain open communication: The newly released research draws links between social media usage and depression, anxiety and even suicidal thoughts. Be sure to regularly check in with your teen and keep the lines of communication open.

• Use new tools: New tech tools can help you get a handle on your teen’s social media usage, as well as help you help them carve out healthy digital habits. For example, OurPact, a parental guidance app used by over 1 million families, allows you to create automated schedules for when internet and apps are unavailable, block access to the device for a specified period of time, whitelist and blacklist websites, and even take screenshots of digital activity. Available at the iOS App Store and Google Play Store, parents can also sign up for an account at www. ourpact.com.

Ultimately, keeping kids safe is critical. With tech tools and an open dialogue, parents can help kids form healthy digital habits. www.bocaratontribune.com

B’nai Torah Congregation’s TLC Free Little Pantry Program Celebrates 50 Pantries The TLC Free Little Pantry Program, which brings food and supplies directly to those in need – regardless of age, race or religion, was brought to South Florida (and beyond) last year

by Summer Faerman, B’nai Torah Congregation’s Director of TLC Programs. The TLC Free Little Pantry is available to anyone in need to give or to take. It includes dried food, canned goods, water, toilet paper and other essentials.

The 50th TLC Free Little Pantry is located at the Legacy Closet in Miami Dade. The Legacy Closet is a place where families in need can come and pick up new or gently used items. The installation of the pantry took place on Sunday. (Pictures attached.)

“I am thrilled to have reached 50 TLC Free Little Pantries,” said Faerman. “Yet it’s also bittersweet that there is still so much food insecurity in our communities, and esOctober 15 - October 21, 2021

pecially in a country like the United States where there is so much waste.”

There are now 50 TLC Free Little pantries in Palm Beach County, Broward County, Miami, the Panhandle, Orlando, Philadelphia and beyond. According to Faerman, she and the B’nai Torah Congregation team will keep building them wherever they are needed. “It doesn’t matter what number we reach,” she said.

“It’s all about meeting the need out there and ensuring we are maintaining the ones we have.”

Earlier this summer, the TLC Program announced a partnership with the Donna Klein Jewish Academy in Boca Raton, where engineering students helped turned the pantries into “smart” pantries complete with QR codes. Visitors to the pantries can use the QR code to report if a pantry is full or empty…so those in need are never left empty handed. www.bocaratontribune.com

Doc’s All American in Delray Beach withdraws application for its iconic destination By: Lauren Do Nascimento The owner of Doc’s all American in Delray Beach will no longer seek its iconic location for the site. As reported by WPTV, the ice cream and burger restaurant had closed earlier this year.

During a commission meeting on Oct. 5, the public commented on their love for the 1950s restaurant.

“That would be where I would get lunch, great milkshakes,” said one person.

“Every time I picked her up from school, we used to go there and have shakes,” said another speaker.

The commission voted in favor of making Doc’s a historic site with a 5-0 vote.

However, the commission rejected a rezoning application for a property next to the restaurant. The rezoning would’ve allowed the restaurant to have more density for a three-story multi-use building.

Attorney Neil Schiller, who represents

www.bocaratontribune.com

the landowner and developer of Doc’s, expected the rezoning to be approved by the city.

In a letter issued to the city, the group stated that they plan on including Doc’s in future proposals but are withdrawing their historic designation application. The manager member of Doc’s also issued a letter to the city of Delray Beach regarding the commission’s decision.

“Although we anticipate integrating the Doc’s building into our project, based on last night’s vote, unfortunately, we will be withdrawing our application referenced above. Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact my counsel, Neil Schiller,” says managing member John Murphy.

“We are shocked about what happened last night, and we are trying to figure out what the next positive step is for us and the community, says Schiller.

SPORTS Sailfish Shutdown No. 3 Ranked Lynn in 2-0 Victory

The Palm Beach Atlantic men’s soccer team earned their best result of the season and the highest ranked win in program history as they took down the No. 3 ranked Lynn Fighting Knights 2-0 tonight. The No. 10 ranked Sailfish move to 8-1 on the season and now control their own destiny in the Sunshine State Conference as they move to 5-1 in conference play.

With so much on the line between the two top-10 sides in the nation, the first half had a feeling-out period where neither side was able to create a scoring opportunity. It was a physical contest as both sides looked to dictate their tempo and style on the match. The two sides combined for just six shots in the opening half as PBA had its first chance off a corner when Nicholas Oberrauch found space but put a header wide. Lynn looked to threaten and had a dangerous header of their own on the back post 30 minutes into the match but the ball was blocked on its way to the net.

The Sailfish centerback tandem of Michael Pahr and Twan Nieboer was strong all night, as they dealt with 6’6” Lynn striker Lukas Ostermann. The Sailfish took advantage of the speed they brought onto the pitch as substitute Giancarlo Triulzi bounced on a long ball from Pahr. Triulzi won a 50-50 ball and split two Lynn defenders. He then put the ball over a charging Lynn keeper to give PBA the lead in the 42nd minute. The goal marks the secondstraight game in which Triulzi has come off the bench to score.

The physical play continued when the two sides came out of the locker room for the second half as there were 15 total yellow cards in the contest. Lynn created the first chance of the second half when Ostermann found the ball in the PBA box, however, Nieboer quickly closed the space October 15 - October 21, 2021

and came up with a sprawling blocked shot to keep goalie Guillermo Falo clean. Falo wasn’t called upon often as he made four total saves, but he had a big one off a Lynn header in the 52nd minute to keep the ‘Fish in front.

The Sailfish withstood the second-half surge from the trailing side, but PBA put the game away in the 63rd minute when the PBA press lead to an intercepted pass.

Quenzi Huerman intercepted a pass from the Lynn keeper and from 40 yards out he gathered himself with two touches and put the ball into an empty net. Lynn’s Rodrigo Fernandez slide in late behind Huerman as he released the shot and was shown his second yellow card of the match. Up 2-0 and up a man on the No. 3 ranked Fighting Knights, the Sailfish controlled the remainder of the match, outshooting Lynn 12-10 and 6-4 in shots on target. Huerman has been the lead man for the Sailfish all season as he is tied for the team lead in goal with five along with Fred Ferreira and leads in assists with six. The ‘Fish would threaten especially off the ten total corners they had but the 2-0 lead was all they needed.

The win takes the Sailfish into first place in the SSC as PBA, Lynn, and Tampa all sit at 15 points within the conference with the Sailfish holding the tiebreaker by defeating both sides. The ‘Fish have been on fire in their last four games having taken down No. 11 Tampa and No. 13 Nova Southeastern on the road by a combined scoreline of 7-0. After returning home to defeat the Rollins Tars, the Sailfish got their best result of the year tonight with the 2-0 win.

Up next, the Sailfish take a break from SSC play as they host Shaw at the Rinker Athletic Campus on Oct. 16. The Bears entered the night carrying a 3-6 record.

Owls Golf Complete Play at Bentwater Florida Atlantic University men’s golf wrapped up play at the Bentwater Intercollegiate, placing eighth as a team, following the conclusion of Wednesday’s final day of the tournament.

The Owls were just behind a packed group between second and seventh, four strokes behind seventh-place finisher South Alabama. For the three round total output, Max Sturdza paced the squad individually, with a 2-under 69 on Wednesday, allowing him to climb eight spots on the leaderboard to finish in a tie for 15th place (72-74-69 – 215). Juan Delgado tied for 28th, with Nils Dobrunz one behind him, in a tie for 34th.

Of the counting foursome, the Owls were third best on Par-4 holes (+21) and second on Par-5’s (-13). On the latter, Delgado and Sturdza each were 5-under, which tied them amongst a group for fourth lowest. The squad’s 42 combined birdies tied for fifth.

Not counting towards the Owls’ team score or individually was Alex Maguire, due to an incorrect scorecard that wiped out his final round. He would have placed second in the 72-player field.

Head Coach Mark Leon: “I’ve been around long enough to realize perspective is a wonderful quality to have in golf and in life in general.

“Two weeks ago my team was gutted that we had to pull out of SMU’s event; to be honest, we were just hoping for another chance to play. Fast forward a week and they were elated to get invited to the Bentwater Intercollegiate.

www.bocaratontribune.com

“After two days of grinding and struggling to figure out a tricky layout at Bentwater, a strong finish by Alex Maguire and Max Sturdza vaulted our team to a second place finish today. Unfortunately, an hour after the conclusion of play, we learned that a scorecard error was going to erase the outstanding round Alex played and disqualify him from the event.

“The range of emotions we’ve experienced is difficult to comprehend, and I’m absolutely gutted for my team. Alex Maguire has meant the world to this program and to see him try to explain this to his teammates – I don’t really have words for it.

“This team comes to work every day with a great attitude, enthusiasm for the game, and they’ve supported me in my transition in a way I could have never comprehended over the past month. A scorecard mistake may change the end result of one tournament, but it doesn’t change the quality of golf we played and the growth I’m seeing. Nor does it alter the wonderful experience we had being hosted by Texas State and Sam Houston State this week.

“I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t upset, but I’m not going to let that get in the way of the big picture; I’m going to choose to be grateful we had the opportunity to compete and get better this week. This team is learning and improving. Can’t wait to get back after it!”

In a little more than two weeks is the fall finale, beginning Oct. 29, as the Owls take part in the White Sands Bahama Little Rock Invitational.

There are only three matches left in the regular season for the Florida Atlantic University women’s soccer team, and they are all Conference USA games. The Owls will take on Marshall at home this Friday, with game time set for 7:00 p.m.

FAU ( 4 - 5 4, 2-1-2 C-USA) gained a crucial three conference points on the road last time out against UTEP. It appeared as if the match was heading into overtime, yet Gi Krstec connected for the gamewinner with under two minutes remaining.

Krstec was assisted by Bri Austin, who won a tough challenge from a Miner defender and pushed the ball all the way to the goal line. Krstec scored her first goal of the year in the clutch to acquire a vital three C-USA points for FAU. The Thundering Herd are looking to rebound after back-to-back C-USA losses to UTSA and Old Dominion. Marshall enters Friday night’s match standing at 3-8-2 and 0-4-1 in conference action. Meg Jarvis leads

Marshall with five goals on the campaign, which is tied for fourth in the conference.

The Owls are slated in fourth place in the C-USA East standings with eight points. Charlotte is right on their heels with seven points, while Middle Tennessee is in front of FAU with nine points.

FAU is undefeated against Marshall all-time in this head-tohead matchup, having won all seven contests.

These two teams last met in the spring 2021 season, when the Owls took a 2-1 win. Amanda Martin scored the equalizer in the 68th minute off an Emma Grissom assist, then FAU took the lead on an own goal a few minutes later.

The Owls will return to the pitch for a road trip to WKU next Friday, Oct. 22.

FAU will serve as the host for the 2021 Conference USA Women’s Soccer Championship. The tournament is scheduled to begin on Nov. 1 with the championship match to be held on Nov. 7.

PBA Women’s Soccer Down Fighting Knights 1-0 The No. 16 Palm Beach Atlantic women’s soccer team went on the road and defeated the Lynn Fighting Knights 1-0. For the Sailfish, they move to 8-2 on the season with a 5-1 record in Sunshine State Conference play.

Both teams exchanged three shots on goal in the first half but stellar g o a l ke e p er play kept the g a m e at 0-0. In the 43rd minute, the Fighting Knights threatened to break the seal. LU forward Savannah Jackson ran the ball into the box and fired a shot that was swatted away from PBA goalkeeper Rachel Neumann. Neumann, made her seventh start in goal after missing the last two games due to injury. The Iowa native made four saves in net and recorded a shutout in the process. PBA hasn’t lost a match all season when Neumann starts in goal.

The Sailfish ended the games scoring www.bocaratontribune.com

drought in the 59th minute. PBA forward Kelly Giddes threaded the needle with a pass to Angel Shamba in the box. Shamba buried the ball in the back of the net to give PBA the 1-0 lead. Shamba’s goal was her first with the program while Giddes notched her first assist of the year.

P B A would hold on to the slim lead with smothering defense. The Fighting Knights only took two shots in the second half and failed to find an e q u a l i z e r.

For PBA, i t ’s t h e i r sixth consecutive win over Lynn dating back to 2015.

No. 16 PBA (8-2, 5-1 SSC) is currently in first place in the SSC standings. They wrap up their schedule with four more conference matches before the SSC tournament. Up next, the ‘Fish will face No. 25 Embry Riddle University on Oct. 20 at home.
