COMMUNITY Boca Helping Hands to Host 12th Monopoly Event Night

By: Jack Rubin Few gambling nights end up benefiting charities, but Boca Helping Hands Monopoly Night is out of the ordinary. Boca Helping Hands is the leading community organization for unemployed people and those who need some help through tough financial times. They provide medical and financial help while offering guidance to help those in need to be back on their feet. April 28 will mark the 12th annual Monopoly Event and Casino Night, hosted at the Royal Palm Yacht and Country Club. Co-Event Chairs LouAnn Such and Dale Workman thoroughly enjoy this night as one of their favorites of the whole year. Workman explained, “We look forward to our guests enjoying this spectacular South Florida venue while they support Boca Helping Hands.” The concept of a Monopoly night was originally introduced by Gary Peters. Currently the Board President, Peters is also a two-time Monopoly champion. Boca Helping Hands is the only charity in the area that hosts a Monopoly themed evening, and the tournament never fails to deliver a share of excitement. Blackjack, poker, and roulette

will also be featured at the event along with the Monopoly tournament. A night of dancing and a catered dinner will accompany the high-stakes events. To finish the evening, there will be a live silent auction. According to the organization, some of the items up for bid include a one-week rental of a cabin in North Carolina, paid dinners at local restaurants, golf outings, wine tastings, and theatre seats all across South Florida. Auctioneer Elton Baldy will serve as the Master of Ceremonies. The group has a great amount of partners and supporters. Fred Hassan, a managing director at the private equity firm Warburg Pincus, is the leading sponsor of the night. All proceeds from ticket sales, the Monopoly event, and the casino games will go directly to the charity’s work. This is just one of many events that Boca Helping Hands hosts to continue to power their cause. The charity is especially active around the Holiday season, hosting Christmas dinners and events throughout the month of December. Their most recent accolade includes receiving a perfect score and an twelfth consecutive four-star rating from Charity Navigator. Heizer Media Group

Bio-inspired Robotics Lands FAU Professor $500,000 NSF CAREER Award Mimicking the seamless motion of how fish swim and use their fins to maneuver their way within the ocean depths has landed an engineering professor at Florida Atlantic University with a prestigious $500,000 National Science Foundation (NSF) CAREER award. Oscar M. Curet, Ph.D., an assistant professor in FAU’s Department of Ocean and Mechanical Engineering in the College of Engineering and Computer Science, has been observing animals in nature and has developed bio-inspired flexible structures that increase maneuverability and enhance the motion of underwater vehicles and robotic systems. Cooperative multi-agent underwater systems are fundamental for ocean exploration and defense, yet knowledge of their dynamics and hydrodynamic interaction in performance and maneuvers still remains unclear. In this five-year project, Curet will investigate this concern using bio-inspired underwater vehicles and a novel robotic undulating fish fin he developed. “This is a tremendous accomplishment for Professor Curet who is an up-and-coming scientific and academic leader who truly exemplifies the role of teacher and scholar,” said Stella N. Batalama, Ph.D., dean of FAU’s College of Engineering and Computer Science. “His ability to integrate his research with K to 12, undergraduate and graduate education will further our University’s mission and moreover, inspire students to pursue careers in engineering and science.” Although current autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) have many capabilities, one main limitation is their inability to perform precise station-keeping, which allows the vehicle to hold its position and adjust for currents and other external forces that would otherwise result in the vehicle drifting out of position. They also have limited maneuverability, which limits their operation in complex environments. At low speeds, the effectiveness of propellers for generating thrust diminishes, making it difficult for propeller-powered vehicles to keep station or navigating at low speed. Bio-inspired propulsors can be an alternative to overcome these limitations since they excel in maneuverability

www.bocaratontribune.com

and exploit hydrodynamic interactions to improve efficiency. To develop these propulsors requires a comprehensive understanding of hydromechanics, maneuver control and performance. For this project, Curet will use an array of bio-inspired underwater vessels propelled with the undulating fin prototype he developed. He adapted the suppleness of fish fins in this flexible prototype to respond the same way nature does – a far departure from rigid structures and materials currently used for many engineering products. “The great potential of a single undulating fin to control the six-degree of freedom of an underwater vessel has remained elusive, in part due to the lack of a platform that allows studying the dynamics in freeswimming conditions,” said Curet. “Understanding the dynamics, performance and fluid around this new prototype will allow us to develop and control a new generation of highly maneuverable vessels propelled by undulating fins.” There also is an important educational need to enhance the engineering curriculum with multidisciplinary classes at the intersection of robotics, fluid mechanics and bio-mimetics as well as diversifying the cadre of engineering students. “The multidisciplinary nature of Professor Curet’s research, which include robotics, fluid mechanics, design, 3D printing and programming will excite and attract young students from diverse backgrounds in the area of STEM and give them hands-on experience,” said Javad Hashemi, Ph.D., associate dean for research, interim chair of the Department of Ocean and Mechanical Engineering, and a professor in FAU’s College of Engineering and Computer Science. “Furthermore, the bioengineering module that is being developed will be used by teachers in elementary and high school labs.” Curet’s long-term career objective is to become an academic leader in the area of bio-mimetic systems with a focus on marine propulsion and applications in multi-agent robotics, ocean exploration and coastal preservation.

Mayor Charged With Felonies, Withdraws From Commission Race By: Michael Demyan On Tuesday night, Boca Raton Mayor Susan Haynie was booked into Palm Beach County jail after she was charged with three counts of official misconduct, perjury in an official proceeding, misuse of public office, corrupt misuse of public office and failure to disclose a voting conflict, according to the arrest report. Haynie was later released on a $12,000 bond. That same night, Mayor Haynie sent a letter to the elections supervisor and withdrew from the County Commissioner race. When asked about the withdraw, Haynie’s campaign manager said that Haynie “wants to focus on the charges and clearing her name.” Although Haynie has withdrawn from the commission race, she has not resigned as mayor, the office she was re-elected to in 2017. Boca Raton City Council members first learned of Haynie’s arrest during their scheduled meeting that night. Haynie had previously told City Manager Leif Ahnell that she would not be attending because “she was ill.” During a brief discussion on how to move forward, Councilwoman Andrea O’Rourke brought up the possibility of removing her from office, but was informed that they had no power to do so. Governor Rick Scott has that ability, however, and his office released the following statement last night upon hearing the news: “The Governor expects all elected officials to serve Floridians in an ethical manner. Our office will review this as soon as we receive more information from law enforcement.” Gov. Scott has recently suspended Hallandale Beach Mayor Joy Cooper a day after she was arrested on three felony charges back in January. “This is extremely upsetting,” O’Rourke said during the meeting. “When this first came into the spotlight months and months ago, I had asked for open discussion of this. I was hoping against hope that our mayor would share information with us and show good judgment and show leadership so we had some sort of direction.” Haynie’s attorney, Leonard Feuer, stated last night his client is innocent with a release to the press: “Mrs. Haynie wholeheartedly and completely denies the allegations which we plan to fight in court to the fullest extent.” Haynie failed to disclose income

April 27 - May 3, 2018

that she and her husband earned while she was in office, including payments from Jim Batmassian’s company, according to a probable cause affidavit. The affidavit continues to state that the investigation revealed that the association at Tivoli Park, a condominium owned by Batmasian, hired Community Reliance LLC, a company owned by Niel and Susan Haynie, and paid the company at least $12,000 per year to manage the property. Haynie told ethics investigators in a sworn statement that her husband had not been paid, but Batmasian’s wife, Marta, claimed that he had. Detective Diana Burfield wrote in the affidavit that Haynie voted on four occasions during 2016 and 2017 while being compensated by the people benefitting from the outcomes of the vote. “Haynie and her husband, through the companies they operated, received a total of $77,843.13 in 2016 and $36,835.39 in 2017. This income was undisclosed,” added Burfield. While discussing the charges against the mayor, Deputy Mayor Scott Singer noted that public trust is important to maintain with the community. “We have already taken steps to further that when some reports about this investigation first opened up months ago,” he said. “We will continue to work on that. In the meantime, we will press forward with continuing to serve the residents as best as we can.” Councilwoman Monica Mayotte added to that, saying that this situation is “disturbing” to deal with as a new member of the Boca Raton City Council. I feel bad for the residents, because I think that public trust has been broken again and we need to deal with this head on and get to the bottom of this and understand what we need to do as a community and a body and a city so this can’t happen again,” she said. In a statement, Communications Manager Chrissy Gibson said that the charges against the mayor will not be affecting normal operations. “We can only acknowledge the current situation and let residents know that this recent information regarding the Mayor, while concerning and upsetting, and still unfolding, will not affect the day to day operations of the City. We will respond to new information as it is received and take appropriate actions at that time.” www.bocaratontribune.com

Small City Trust. Big Time Lie. Again? Our embattled mayor Susan Haynie was arrested earlier this week after a 13-month corruption probe. The mayor, first elected in 2000 to the city council, elected mayor in 2014 and then won another three-year term in 2017, allegedly lied about money she took from developers and hid more than $335,000 in income, prosecutors say. Prosecutors also said Haynie, among other things, voted favorably on issues that would benefit Boca Raton real estate developer James Batmasian who owns the largest amount of commercial property worth hundreds of millions of dollars in the city. Haynie also did not disclose that her property management company, Community Reliance LLC, did business with Batmasian, investigators said. She and her husband, Neil Haynie, were listed as managing members of the company when they founded it in 2008 until 2015, according to records from the Florida Division of Corporations.

Only Haynie’s husband was listed as sole managing member in 2016 and 2017, according to state records. The Haynies also own Computer Golf Software of Nevada Inc. Haynie falsified her required state financial disclosure forms in 2014, 2015 and 2016 by omitting that Batmasian compensated her, Detective Diana Burfield, the investigator with the Palm Beach County State Attorney’s Office, wrote in the arrest report. She also told ethics investigators that her husband had not been paid, but Batmasian’s wife, Marta Batmasian, said that he had, the investigator wrote. Batmasian and his company paid Community Reliance at least $12,000 a year to manage his condos in the Tivoli Park building. If the allegations are true — we are in no position to judge — and Haynie is convicted, she could be sentenced to 23 years in prison. As I pen this column, it does not appear Haynie has any intention of

stepping aside from her public service job despite coming under fire. While she has no legal obligation to do so, it is evident her moral compass is pointing toward her own self-interest, not those of the residents who elected her. And as Gov. Scott mulls Haynie’s fate, I can only imagine she will stand firm as she maintains her innocence. But let us not forget Haynie likely will need deep pockets to pay off attorney bills, so those taxpayer-funded paychecks might come in handy. Boca Raton residents should expect their public officials to conduct themselves properly, follow the law and — at the very least — not put themselves in compromising positions. There needs to be a strong public outcry now. Residents should be piling up at the next city council meeting to use their three minutes. In fact, the city will be holding a meeting on Monday to discuss Haynie’s fate on the council. Your loud voices and peaceful protests can lead

to change. Haynie will have her day in court, but until then, the cloud that hangs over her is embarrassment to herself and the city. Her decision to remain in her current capacity is troubling as the public trust crumbles. It appears Haynie either has a pattern of sidestepping the truth or the truth does not exist in her. After knowing she would not be attending the city council meeting Tuesday evening because she would be turning herself in at the hoosegow, Haynie told City Manager Leif Ahnell that she would not be attending because “she was ill.” In fact, Haynie’s peers on the city council first learned of her arrest during their meeting that night. Without being redundant, Boca Raton residents, taxpayers and voters, you deserve leaders who are ethical and honest. Let your voices be heard at Monday’s public meeting at 4:30 p.m. at 6500 North Congress Ave.

POSITIVE LIVING By Dr. Synesio Lyra, Jr.

Learn to Communicate Better! Having a vocabulary is essential for all human interactions. It is with words that we share our accumulated knowledge, and communicate our deepest emotions about any issue important to us, or a new idea being considered by us. People remain free to convey such feelings, or not, but it is with clearly formed phrases that our evaluation of any situation can best be expressed, and our personal opinion made known! Again, we need the right words if what we say is to be understood and a positive impact made! Nevertheless, there are situations in life when the most loquacious persons find

themselves at a loss for words which best verbalize their mindset at a particular moment. It is also true that sometimes a person’s actions speak louder than words. Children, which might fail to employ the magic words “thank you” after receiving a present, may still manifest their enormous gratitude, but in a way unique to them! Most often, it comes by the interest immediately shown for the gift, by the manner of treating the gift, and by a variety of other positive reactions to it, short of the specific, appropriate terms of appreciation. Right words, however, remain the best

vehicles to express one’s thoughts and anything a person wishes to communicate. Some people may utilize bumperstickers on their cars, wear T-shirts with a message, carry posters or banners to manifest their opinions on a variety of concerns. Yet, words coming directly from a person’s mind and mouth are most preferred. This is so, especially, in conversations between individuals. Developing a good vocabulary is the most adequate way for anyone to select the right words in any interpersonal, human exchange. And the most effective manner to be in control of language is through much reading and the quick employment of new terms

learned, as one converses with others, writes in a diary, produces an article or essay, or utilizes public platforms to address any audience. Using the right words in any situation is always the most ideal route to follow. Addressing any issue with clarity seldom leaves any doubt in people’s minds as to what is being conveyed. The communicator is the one responsible to make the ideas fully lucid, for the benefit of readers or hearers. This is especially significant when the goal of what is conveyed demands action.

Dr. Synesio Lyra, Jr. is a Florida resident who, for many years, was a professor at the post-graduate level. He is a writer, a sought-after conference speaker, a man who lived in five continents of the world, having received his education in four of them. When he resided in southern California, he wrote a weekly column for the daily “Anaheim Bulletin,” which was carried for about six years, until he moved to south Florida.

By: Michael Demyan Boca Raton Deputy Mayor Scott Singer was honored as the 2018 recipient of the Home Rule Hero Award. The award is given out annually by the Florida League of Cities, which acts as “the united voice for Florida’s municipal governments.” It is based on a local government official’s ability to advance the legislative agenda of the Florida League of Cities, as well as protecting Home Rule powers. Home Rule is the focus on local issues with limited interference from the state government. It involves being able govern cities through local government without the intrusion of the state. Singer, who has served on the Growth Management and Economic Affairs Legislative Policy Committee of the Florida League of Cities as well as the Economy Task Force of the Palm Beach County League of Cities, was proud to be named the recipient of the award. “I’m honored to be able to serve the residents of Boca Raton and will continue to make sure their voices are heard on local matters that impact our community,” Singer said. Singer has been a member of the Boca Raton City Council since 2014,

when he was elected for Seat A after running unopposed. He served a three year term and was re-elected in 2017 after beating Patti Dervishi in a landslide for the seat. Florida League of Cities President Gil Ziffer said that he was proud of all of the hard work government officials had put into their roles. “These dedicated municipal officials are some of the Florida League of Cities’ biggest advocates for municipal issues,” Ziffer said. “Their efforts during the 2018 legislative session were extraordinary. The League and its legislative team are proud to recognize and thank them for their service.” On April 2, Singer, was officially named the deputy mayor after being nominated by the previous deputy mayor, Jeremy Rodgers. Council Member Andrea O’Rourke nominated Rodgers to retain his role, but after Rodgers declined, the city council voted 5-0 in favor of Singer. After Singer took on his new role as the Boca Raton deputy mayor, city council and municipal government newcomer Monica Mayotte was named the new voting member of the Palm Beach County League of Cities, with Rodgers named as the alternate delegate.

50 Low-Income Adults Find Relief at Free Dentistry Day Alberson Azor, a Palm Beach State College student pursuing an A.A. degree, is very glad that he opened a particular email waiting in his College inbox. It was a notice about Free Dentistry Day at the Lake Worth campus. “It was like a blessing,” said Azor, who was one of 50 low-income adults who got relief at today’s event. “I woke up early, saw the email and definitely had to come here. I had gone to a dentist, and they were asking a thousand dollars for a cap. I was just going to wait for a while, and then the I saw the email!” The fourth annual Free Dentistry Day involved 11 dentists affiliated with Atlantic Coast Dental Research Clinic, aided by Palm Beach State’s Dental Health students. The dentists performed 46 fillings (one was Azor’s) and 39 extractions. They were assisted by 18 PBSC Dental Assisting students and six PBSC Dental Hygiene students, who did the initial patient intake. A PBSC student, Azor wears a T-shirt from his clothing line, Made to Win. Doors opened at 6 a.m. and treatment began at 8 a.m. on a first-come, first-served basis. Many patients were motivated by pain to arrive early, according to Colleen Bradshaw, associate professor and chair of PBSC’s Dental Assisting program and coordinator of the event.

“We had 15 patients at 5:30 a.m., but there was one patient—patient number one—who had been here since midnight,” Bradshaw said. “She had a toothache and needed an extraction, so she slept in her car. It’s heartbreaking, but it proves that we’re doing good.” Dr. Carlos Boudet, a board member of ACDRC, recruited the volunteer dentists. “We’re just very happy to have many dentists who feel it’s necessary to do this for the community. I’m just delighted to see how many dentists have responded.” One grateful patient was so thrilled with her fillings that she wished she could have paid. “It’s way too expensive to do this the normal way, especially without insurance, ” said Lindsey Fisher. “It just gets more and more expensive each year. I really appreciate this place. I want to cry…thank you so much.” Equally thankful, Azor gained something else from the treatment. While he plans to go into business, his experience as a patient—interacting with the dentist and dental assisting student Natalie Diaz—sparked the idea of enrolling in the Dental Assisting program. “I need an income stream, so I’m thinking I might do what Natalie’s doing. It was interesting being a patient, and Natalie was awesome.”

FAU Engineering Colleges Showcase High-Tech Talent The deans of 10 engineering colleges throughout Florida have formed a first-of-its-kind partnership in an effort to collaboratively demonstrate the impact their colleges have on the state’s and the nation’s innovation economy by producing a large, highly sought-after skilled workforce of engineers and computer scientists. The deans lead the engineering and computer science colleges at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University (Daytona); Florida A&M-Florida State University (Tallahassee); Florida Atlantic University (Boca Raton); Florida Institute of Technology (Melbourne); Florida International University (Miami); University of Central Florida (Orlando); University of Florida (Gainesville); University of Miami (Miami); University of North Florida (Jacksonville); and University of South Florida (Tampa). Together these colleges produce more than 5,000 engineers and computer scientists annually, helping to fill an industry need of 65,000 high-tech jobs available in Florida alone. The state’s top industries include modeling and simulation, aviation, aerospace and defense, turbomachinery, agriculture, renewable energy, biomedical engineering, advanced manufacturing, entertainment and hospitality. To showcase this talent, UCF’s College of Engineering and Computer Science hosted the Inaugural Florida-Wide Student Engineering Design Showcase on Thursday, April 19. Each partner institution showcased several of their graduating seniors’ capstone projects, many of which are sponsored by industry such as Lockheed Martin and Har-

ris Corporation. “There is sheer talent in engineering and computer science colleges across the state, and this is what we witnessed at the 2018 Senior Design Showcase,” said Stella Batalama, Ph.D., dean of FAU’s College of Engineering and Computer Science. “Engineers and computer scientists drive the economy across the nation, and improve the human condition through innovation and technology advancements. Our FAU engineering and computer science students belong to this elite group.” FAU’s College of Engineering and Computer Science showcased the following three student projects at the event: Oceanus Vi: Micro Hydro-Electric Kinetic Power System: This personal-use turbine converts the mechanical energy of moving water into electricity, stores the power and dissipates it when needed. Little Havana Mixed-Use Development: This is an innovative design to produce an affordable, healthy environment while optimizing energy usage. It was designed according to the “Miami of the 21st Century” approach to land use, which also implemented environmental aspects of Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED). Nearby Robotic Delivery Service (NeRD): This is an autonomous robotic platform designed to assist with the delivery of mail and food across a college campus. NeRD is a full ordering system that allows customers to place orders on a website or mobile app.

By Rick Boxx

Overcoming Toxic Anger Some people view the Bible strictly as a religious book, failing to see its relevance for every day. However, it can serve as a very practical, common sense guide for any aspect of life – including the business and professional world. No better example could be cited than the Old Testament book of Nehemiah. A trusted adviser to Persian king Artaxerxes in the 5th century B.C., he dreamed of rebuilding Jerusalem, reduced to mostly rubble for more than 140 years. The account of Nehemiah shows five key steps he took that paved the way for restoring the city: 1. Prayerful assessment. Learning Jerusalem was in ruins, Nehemiah’s heart broke. He prayed fervently before approaching the king to ask his blessing to pursue the reconstruction project. After receiving approval, Nehemiah then went to Jerusalem and quietly assessed the damage for three days before taking action. Nehemiah 2:13 states, “So I went out at night…inspecting the walls of Jerusalem which were broken down and its gates which were consumed by fire.” If you desire a new project or your team to be successful, start with prayer, then objectively assess the situation. 2. A compelling vision. For nearly a century and a half, no one had revived the city of Jerusalem; few people believed it was possible, or even necessary. Nehemiah, however, had a much bigger vision. For it to become reality, he needed the locals to catch his vision. He said to the people, “You see the trouble we are in: Jerusalem lies in ruins, and its gates have been burned with fire. Come, let us rebuild the wall of Jerusalem, and we will no longer be in disgrace” (Nehemiah 2:17). If you desire a team to follow you, communicating a compelling vision for the future is crucial. 3. Find the right leaders for leverage. In those days, the high priest was very powerful. If that leader did not participate, few would follow. Along with

the high priest, Nehemiah knew local business leaders would be very influential. With God’s help, he managed not only to engage business leaders in rebuilding certain sections of the wall, but also convinced Eliashib, the high priest, to lead the charge. Nehemiah 3:1 tells us, “Eliashib, the high priest, and his fellow priests went to work and rebuilt the Sheep Gate.” To form a strong team that gets results, recruit and leverage people of influence. 4. Build collaborative teams. More than 40 sections of the wall around Jerusalem needed repair. Each team could have focused on their piece of the wall, but without collaboration their section would become an island easily toppled. They needed to work together – to accomplish the bigger goal of rebuilding the wall, and to fight off enemies. “From that day on, half of my men did the work, while the other half were equipped with spears, shields, bows and armor” (Nehemiah 4:16). With collaborative teams, Nehemiah overcame opposition. If you desire a strong successful organization, build teams that work together. 5. Encourage commitment and accountability. When adversity comes, teams either fall apart or become stronger together. A good leader recognizes this and addresses adverse situations accordingly. Nehemiah and his team received multiple death threats; they were understandably scared. Nehemiah was at risk of losing his workers without their strong commitment. He encouraged them by saying, “Don’t be afraid of them. Remember the Lord, who is great and awesome, and fight for your families, your sons and your daughters, your wives and your homes” (Nehemiah 4:14). He later encountered internal conflict as well, requiring that he hold his leaders accountable to God’s standards. If you desire a successful project or business, encourage commitment and accountability.

Four Fighting Knights Garner Lacrosse All-SSC Honors Four members of the Lynn University lacrosse team earned All-Sunshine State Conference honors, as voted on by the league's coaches and announced by the SSC office on Thursday. Dryden Brous repeats on the All-SSC First Team, Mikey Urso was tabbed to the All-SSC Second Team while rookies Keegan Maxwell and Xander Cosenza claim a spot on the All-SSC Freshman Team. Brous, the reigning SSC Freshman of the Year, finds himself on the league's first team for the second consecutive year, marking the program's fourth-ever first-team selection. The Ocean City, Md., product made major strides in his sophomore campaign, breaking the program's single-season records for ground balls per game and faceoff winning percentage. Brous' 11.15 ground balls per game was the highest in the country while his 76.1 percent winning clip at the faceoff X ranked second in all of Division II. His dominant efforts throughout the season led to four SSC Specialist of the Week awards, bringing his total to eight career SSC weekly honors. His eight career selections trail only Tampa's Connor Whipple (10) for second-most in SSC men's lacrosse history. He also became just the third-ever Fighting Knight to win at least eight career weekly awards, joining softball's Aimee Murch (9; 2004-05) and men's soccer's Chris Hellmann (8; 201315). Urso locks down postseason SSC honors for the third consecutive year, making the all-freshman team in 2016 while earning a spot on the first team last season. The redshirt-junior out of Boynton Beach, Fla., led the Fighting Knights in points and assists this year. His 24 assists broke his own single-season school record that he set last year (20) and ranked second in the SSC while his 2.87 points per game (43 total) placed him seventh among his conference foes. Early in the season, Urso became the program's all-time leader in career assists. Maxwell and Cosenza co-led the Blue and White in the scoring department with each recording a team-best 28 goals. Their 1.87 goals per game ranked them 10th in the SSC this season while their 28 goals are the most-ever by a true freshman in single-season program history. Cosenza's best outing came in

www.bocaratontribune.com

a road upset at No. 10 Belmont Abbey where the Bay Shore, N.Y., native scored five goals, including all four of Lynn's in the fourth quarter, as the Fighting Knights went on a 4-0 run in the final frame to secure the clutch comeback. His five goals are tied for second-most in a game in school history. He also found a knack for scoring on the power play, setting the single-season program record and co-leading all of Division II with nine man-up goals on the year. Maxwell's offensive production came in spurts, scoring three or more goals in six different games this season while scoring four goals in three contests. The Center Moriches, N.Y., product was an enforcer in the crease and his quick hands led to multiple highlight goals on the year. Saint Leo's Jake Gilmour has been voted SSC Player of the Year for 2018. In 14 games for the Lions, Gilmour tallied 63 points from 29 goals and 34 assists with a .468 shooting percentage. The senior from Pickering, Ontario is the SSC leader in points per game (4.50) and assists per game (2.43). Gilmour becomes the first Saint Leo athlete to earn an individual award in men's lacrosse. B.J. Borowski from the University of Tampa is awarded Freshman of the Year honors after starting in 16 games for the Spartans. The Frederick County, Maryland native, recorded 135 saves and allowed 110 goals for .551 save percentage in 2018. His 8.12 goals against average helped the Spartans secure a 13-4 record, and stands as one of the lowest goals-against average in program history. Among conference goalkeepers that made over 30 saves in 2018, he ranks second in goals-against average and second in save percentage. Borowski is the second Spartan to be named Freshman of the Year1. SSC coaches selected Brad Jorgensen as the 2018 SSC Coach of the Year. The 14-year head coach of Saint Leo earns the honor after going undefeated (7-0) in SSC play and posting a.929 winning percentage in the regular season (13-1). Under Jorgensen's leadership, the Lions have risen to the fifth-ranked team in the USILA poll, won their first SSC regular-season title, and will host the conference postseason tournament. The honor is the first of his Jorgensen's career.
