Research Park at FAU to Celebrate 2018 Awards

By: Brittany Sylvestri

The Research Park at Florida Atlantic University® recently named the recipients of its fourth annual Research Park Annual Awards. The awards celebration will take place on Wednesday, Oct. 3 from 6:30 to 9 p.m. at The Addison, 2 East Camino Real, Boca Raton. Tickets cost $125 per person.

“The recipients of this year’s Research Park at FAU awards are all hugely impactful to the mission of the Research Park – to foster R&D at FAU and foster economic development in our region,” said Andrew Duffell, president and chief executive officer of the Research Park at FAU. “We are grateful to each for their unique contributions and hope that they inspire our stakeholders.”

The Research Park awards recognize distinguished contributions to the Research Park’s mission to create and sustain the ideal environment for innovation and invention, maximizing the academic and entrepreneurial talent and regional resources in South Florida to accelerate economic development and prosperity.

The award recipients for 2018 are:

Distinguished Researcher: Gregg Fields, Ph.D. is a professor, chair of the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry and director of the Center for Molecular Biology and Biotechnology in FAU’s Charles E. Schmidt College of Science. Fields applied chemistry in novel ways to answer important biological questions, many of which assist in the diagnosis and treatment of major diseases, such as multiple sclerosis, arthritis and cancer.

He is a fellow of the National Academy of Inventors and a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. He is a renowned researcher who holds six U.S. patents and has one application being reviewed. The technology developed by Fields has resulted in three commercial products, currently sold by five different companies. He has authored or coauthored more than 260 scientific publications and has presented more than 190 invited lectures.

Distinguished Entrepreneur: Daniel Cane is the chief executive officer and co-founder of South Florida-based Modernizing Medicine, Inc., a healthcare IT company that is revolutionizing

www.bocaratontribune.com

the way in which healthcare information is created, consumed and utilized to increase practice efficiency and improve patient outcomes. Joining the Research Park in 2012, Modernizing Medicine has grown to more than 650 employees and has raised more than $332 million in total investment. In 2016, the South Florida Business Journal named Cane as a “South Florida Ultimate CEO.” In 2015, he was named “EY Entrepreneur of the Year®.”

Cane earned the Excalibur Award for Palm Beach Small Business Leader of the Year for 2013. Additionally, he also was named “Palm Beach County Ultimate CEO” by the South Florida Business Journal and “CEO of the Year” by CEO World. Recently, he and his wife, Debra, donated $1 million to FAU’s A.D. Henderson University School for STEM education initiatives.

By C. Ron Allen

Is America’s Mental Health Crisis the Culprit of Gun Violence?

When a young while male stormed into a South Carolina church and opened fire killing nine black parishioners in a racist rage, his lawyers argued that he suffered from numerous mental disorders.

The same reason was given when a deranged man gunned down 26 worshippers at the First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs, Texas.

And again, we heard the same refrain – the suspect was struggling with mental illness – after the school shootings in Kentucky, in Parkland and just last week in Texas.

Another common thread is that after each mass shooting, politicians on both sides of the aisle have pointed the finger at mental illness. Come on now, such rhetoric has become too common following violent acts. How many times have we heard our elected officials say that guns are not the issue? Just like clockwork, every time there has been a gun-related mass killing they are quick to offer their prayers and declare that something must be done to find help for those struggling with mental illness. Then, nothing gets done. And then there’s another shooting.

Yet people keep dying and their thoughts and prayers aren’t solving anything.

I often wonder why so many politicians and others try to make mental illness the root cause of these heinous acts of violence.

I am not a medical expert. So as a journalist, whenever I need to find the answer to anything, I do the research. I ask the experts.

My research has shown that only a very small percentage of violent acts are committed by people who are diagnosed with, or in treatment for, mental illness.

Studies show that only four percent of criminal violence in the United States are caused by people with mental illness.

Mental health experts have been trying for years to shed some light on this million dollar question.

It is a fact that severe mental illnesses are found more often among mass murderers.

Dr. Michael Stone, a Columbia University forensic psychiatrist who maintains a database of 350 mass shooters going back more than a century, found that about 22 percent - only 52 out of the

235 killers in the database – suffered from mental illness.

But only about one in five – about 1 percent - are likely psychotic or delusional, Stone found.

“The mentally ill should not bear the burden of being regarded as the ‘chief ’ perpetrators of mass murder,” Stone wrote in a 2015 article.

I also discovered studies that suggest in reality that people with mental illness are rarely violent in an external sense.

They are more likely to commit suicide rather than kill others if they have access to firearms.

It soon became clear to me that the reason the mental health system fails to prevent mass shootings is that mental illness is rarely the cause of such violence.

Simply put, if all potential mass shooters received psychiatric care, there is no reliable cure for angry young white men who harbor violent fantasies.

Many who have spent their lives studying, diagnosing and treating mental illnesses say the laws intended to stop the mentally ill from buying guns are too narrow and easily sidestepped.

Which leaves me to think that the suspects are not the problem, the real pathology is access to guns.

Therefore, I am left with no other theory than it is unfair and inaccurate to blame mental illness for the atrocities against random innocent strangers.

On a more upbeat note, kudos to Delray Beach’s Assistant Director of Human Resources Duane D’Andrea who recently was elected to the Florida Public Employer Labor Relations Association board.

FPELRA assists and represents cities in human resource hearings against employees.

The U.S. Navy Sailor is a certified EEO investigator and a certified mediator.

He also holds a Florida Certified Labor Relations Professional certification as well as his Professional in Human Resources and Society of Human Resources Certified Professional designations.

Before coming to Delray Beach, he was a labor relations officer for CSX railroad.

POSITIVE LIVING

By Dr. Synesio Lyra, Jr.

Be Informed!

It is amazing what the current age has brought to humankind, and continues to provide. In a matter of just a few years, information truly exploded, in bringing new tools which accelerate the acquisition of important new facts, especially what can be beneficial to all humans.

Sane persons desire to be informed about new trends, about dangers which may be affecting the human race, concerning the threat of terrorist organizations around the globe, about physical maladies which may be spreading world-wide, and pose a threat to everyone wherever anyone may be situation on earth.

Information is most vital. People need to lead informed lives. And today we all have the means of getting information,

retaining it, and adding more to it in terms of advances or declines of the same. All humans need to be up-to-date about what is crucial for their daily operation and, especially, for their very survival on earth.

We have reached a time in our lives when it is possible to carry the whole world in our hands, as far as having an operative cellular phone which can provide all the basic information one needs about weather conditions, crimes in the neighborhood, threats to one’s security, national and international happenings, and all else that gives one the opportunity to be truly prepared for whatever may come next, as well as to act in the light of what’s taking place right now!

On account of the difficult days

in which we live (despite the many advances that have taken place to improve the quality of our life), we still need to take the initiative in seeking whatever will truly help us to live with confidence on account of the information we are constantly being made aware of.

Even with respect to weather changes, we need to be prepared with information we secure about conditions that may bring storms, tornadoes, or other potential dangerous situations, based on scientific methods and devices that can help us intelligently to anticipate such alterations.

Sadly, there are many people who don’t want to be bothered with the information that is always available. They consider a waste of time to check the newspapers,

to watch television news, to talk intelligently with neighbors and friends about conditions that surround us, wherever we may be.

Let us all be more proactive in seeking information with greater diligence, and acting on it accordingly. If that is an activity which is repulsive to you, for some reason, at least find some reliable friend or relative who can keep you well informed, so that changes which are inevitable to occur won’t meet you by surprise, but will allow you to make the necessary plans to avoid the bad consequences of conditions you may have to encounter, whether you like it or not. Whatever be your way, be informed!

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.

AACY luncheon at Broken Sound Country Club

This week I attended a delicious dinner with my favorite friend, Christine Lynn at Uncle Tai’s. Food was delicious and the company even better. After dinner I proceeded on to the Seagate Hotel in Delray Beach to meet several friends for dancing. Also on Sunday I attended a brunch at the Hunter’s Run C.C. and then went to the Palm Beach Kennel Club with a friend.

Taking Time To Make A Timely Change

One day, while giving visitors a tour of his manufacturing plant, Kevin, the plant CFO, shared with us his views on timeclocks, which many companies use to track the time workers spend on the job, sometimes to the exact minute.

He explained at his plant, timeclocks are no longer used, observing that in his opinion, “timeclocks can make for lazy managers.”

Instead of having workers “clock in” when they start the day and “clock out” when they leave, Kevin’s company chose to change the procedure to emphasize that people matter more than the process. Their managers strive to be aware of their people’s timeliness, schedules and challenges well enough that timeclocks are not necessary.

They were willing to change their established routine for the sake of a bigger purpose, that being to demonstrate genuine care for every member of their team. As Proverbs 27:23 tells us, “Be sure you know the condition of your flocks, give careful attention to your herds.” Just as good shepherds keep a watchful eye on their flocks and are ever-vigilant to make certain their needs are met, wise leaders and managers also make every effort to address the unique circumstances their employees are facing.

You might think, “But that’s not the way it is done in business. Timeclocks are a standard, traditional way of keeping record of the workers’ hours, and also for ensuring they arrive and depart on time.”

That may be true. But I would respond, sometimes courageous leaders must be willing to dismantle routines and patterns for a greater cause. Here are some other principles from the Bible:

Why not follow the usual practices of business? Sometimes leaders that

put God and their people first must be willing to choose a different course, one that best serves the needs of their team members. “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is”(Romans 12:2).

The best leaders are also servants. Servant leadership is not just some lofty ideal, but a practical, effective way for leading others. We find no better example than Jesus Christ, who said, “For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many” (Mark 10:45).

Demonstrating genuine care and concern. Periodically re-examining usual practices and being willing to change or adjust them to put the interests of people first shows your people that you value them. “Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves.

Each of you should look not only to your own interest, but also to the interests of others” (Philippians 2:3-4).

Having wisdom to recognize and respond to change. It could be said that the “eight last words” of failing organizations are, “But we have always done it that way!” Discerning leaders perceive a changing environment and adapt accordingly. Such adaptability is mentioned in the Old Testament, concerning a group known as “the men of Issachar,” one of the Israelite clans: “Of the sons of Issachar, men who understood the times, with knowledge of what Israel should do…” (1 Chronicles 12:32). When circumstances change, sometimes that calls for a change in strategy or methodology.

FAU Teams Win Top Awards at Seaperch Competition

By: Brittany Sylvestri

Six teams from Florida Atlantic University High School and A.D. Henderson University School (ADHUS) recently competed in the 2018 International SeaPerch Underwater Robotics Championship at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth in Dartmouth, Massachusetts.

FAU High School’s all-female rookie minority team, Shapoppin’ SeaOwls, won first place in the advanced division for their engineering notebook and engineering presentation. ADHUS’s middle school team, SeaOwls Karma, won second place in the advanced division for their engineering notebook and engineering presentation. They also won third place overall in the advanced division.

This year there were more than 175 teams from all over the world to

compete in two pool events and submitted engineering notebooks one month before the tournament.

“I am so extremely proud of our SeaOwls and their accomplishment both in and out of the pool at UMASS Dartmouth this weekend,” said Allan Phipps, STEM coordinator for A.D. Henderson University School.“Our students represented FAU well on the international stage and showed the world we are pursuing innovation in engineering and design.”

The SeaPerch program provides students with the opportunity to learn about robotics, engineering, science and mathematics. Building an underwater ROV teaches students basic skills in ship and submarine design, while encouraging them to explore opportunities in naval architecture and ocean engineering.

Boca Airport Customs and Border Protection Facility Opens

At 10:30 AM on May 31st, the much-anticipated U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) facility officially opened at the Boca Raton Airport. The occasion was celebrated the previous evening with a ribbon-cutting ceremony and reception, which was attended by many of Boca Raton’s government, civic and business leaders.

Festivities began with Boca Raton Mayor Scott Singer cutting the ribbon at the CBP facility, which was followed by the reception inside the neighboring Privaira Private Aviation hangar. Attendees enjoyed light international fare and live steel drum music, before transitioning to the speaking portion of the evening.

Airport Executive Director, Clara Bennett began by thanking the numerous individuals, departments and organizations that helped bring the CBP facility to fruition. She then highlighted the significance of opening a CBP facility in Boca Raton.

“Throughout its history, the Airport has served as a catalyst for economic growth, playing a pivotal role in the development of Boca Raton as a major hub for corporate headquarters and international commerce,” Bennett said. “Beyond the economic impact, the new facility will ultimately be about connecting the Boca Raton Airport to the rest of the world.”

Boca Raton Airport Authority (BRAA) Chair Mitch Fogel spoke next. “I know you’re as excited as we are for what this project represents for the future of this city of Boca Raton, the Boca Raton Airport and this community,” Fogel said. “This project is the result of the cooperative efforts of the Airport Authority, Airport tenants and users, city leaders and our community partners working together towards a common goal.”

Fogel was followed by Mayor Scott Singer, who showcased the role that the Airport has historically played in the growth of the city, as well as the impact that the CBP facility will likely make on further economic growth.

“Boca’s history really begins, in a big way, at this Airport when it was the Army Airfield in the 1940s… it helped us emerge into the flourishing city we are, a city of nearly 100,000, with a business weight much above that,” said Mayor Singer. “We’ve been following this closely and waiting anxiously for the Airport Customs facility to be open. Now that it is, we can

www.bocaratontribune.com

be an international attractor of business.”

Mayor Singer also stated that “it’s really an opportunity for us to attract corporate headquarters, and to retain and expand on our high paying jobs.”

Airport Executive Director, Clara Bennett returned to the podium, stating “this project would not have been possible without the partnership of the entire team at U.S. Customs and Border Protection.”

Bennett then introduced Diane Sabatino, Director Field Operations (DFO) for the U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s Miami and Tampa Field Offices.

Sabatino thanked Bennett for her efforts, which she says were instrumental in making the project move quickly. “It may seem like it was a long time to get this project to opening. But from a federal government perspective, we moved about as close to lighting speed as I’ve seen, and (that’s) certainly due to the efforts of everyone involved,” Sabatino said. “These improvements here in Boca Raton demonstrate the benefits that can be achieved when working with key stakeholders, and there’s tremendous value in industry and government working together to find smart, cost-effective solutions while providing the best services possible.”

Privaira President and CEO Clemens Vanderwerf was the final speaker. He thanked everyone involved for their great work, and congratulated them for opening a CBP facility in Boca Raton.

In addition to the speakers, other notable guests included BRAA Board Members, Cheryl Budd, Gene Folden and James Nau; County Commissioner Steven Abrams; and City Council Members Andrea O’Rourke, Monica Mayotte and Jeremy Rodgers; Shawn Jamison Hall from the office of Senator Bill Nelson; Wendy Lipsich from the office of Representative Ted Deutch: as well as, Tess, the CBP service beagle.

Representatives from Discover The Palm Beaches and The Bahamas Ministry of Tourism were also on site providing information about travel to Palm Beach County and The Bahamas.

With the CBP facility now officially open, readers are encouraged to follow the Airport on their social media profiles and through the website at BocaAirport. com for news releases on the first plane, first jet, first Vet and first pet to utilize the CBP facility.

FAU Awarded $1.25 Million by United States Navy By: Gisele Galoustian

Florida Atlantic University’s College of Engineering and Computer Science has been awarded a $1.25 million grant by the United States Office of Naval Research (ONR) to undertake research in support of autonomous unmanned marine vehicle platforms for coastal surveillance, coastal surveys, target tracking and protection of at-sea assets. The five-year project will entail developing unmanned surface vehicles that serve as “motherships” for unmanned underwater vehicles and aerial drones, thereby enabling multi-vehicle, multi-domain capability that may serve as a mobile coastal monitoring system, as well as training and education of graduate and undergraduate students in ocean engineering.

The project will leverage and collaborate with FAU’s ongoing Naval Engineering Education Consortium effort in conjunction with the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Panama City, which involves use of two unmanned underwater vehicles (UUV) for adaptive subsurface sensing in support of detection of objects on the sea bottom.

“Fostering collaborative partnerships in scientific research is essential to ensuring that the United States remains at the forefront of innovation and technology,” said Stella N. Batalama, Ph.D., dean of FAU’s College of Engineering and Computer Science. “We are very pleased to continue our relationship with the Office of Naval Research.

This latest grant will enable us to develop important technology that will help to secure our U.S. coastal waters and our assets at-sea both nationally and globally.”

FAU researchers will develop capabilities for multi-sensor perception, collision avoidance, simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM), and improved low-level control in adverse weather conditions. Capabilities will also be developed for a USV to serve as a docking station for power and data transfer between the USV and UUVs and aerial drones. Implementation of the SLAM algorithm will provide the USV a world map in support of situational awareness and improved navigation and path planning.

“Our focus will be on developing a multi-vehicle system that can safely and reliably navigate coastal waters with a high level of autonomy while performing assigned tasks,” said Manhar Dhanak, Ph.D., principal investigator of the award and professor and director of SeaTech – The Institute for Ocean and Systems Engineering in FAU’s Department of Ocean and Mechanical Engineering. “We will build on our ongoing efforts and leverage technological advances in sensor systems for perception and communication, as well as in computer architecture and robotic frameworks.”

Within the last decade, interest in UUVs as part of specific military, industrial and academic missions and applications have increased due to technological

May 25 - May 31, 2018

innovations and the evolution of their sensor payloads. Missions such as persistent surveillance, anti-submarine warfare, oceanography and mine countermeasures are among key advantages of utilizing UUVs as compared to other platforms.

The U.S. Navy has identified several major benefits of unmanned vehicles in maritime surface and sub-surface applications. They are far less expensive to operate and maintain than manned vehicles, and automated sensors can maintain near-constant awareness and coverage of an environment.

Near-constant surveillance also provides persistence in data collection, which enables a better understanding of long-term behavior patterns and trends. Unmanned platforms also have the potential to improve productivity and foremost, they keep human sailors and expensive manned platforms away from danger.

“This latest grant awarded to Dr. Dhanak by the Office of Naval Research significantly amplifies previous and ongoing work on unmanned marine vehicles at SeaTech.

It highlights ocean engineering research at Florida Atlantic University,” 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 project promotes training and education of U.S. graduate and undergraduate students in unmanned autonomous marine vehicles-related research, in support of National Naval Responsibility for Naval Engineering.”

Dhanak will spearhead the project working with a team of engineers, a post-doctoral associate, and graduate and undergraduate students at SeaTech.

Located in Dania Beach and established in 1997 as a state-funded type II research center, SeaTech - The Institute for Ocean and Systems Engineering is part of FAU's Department of Ocean and Mechanical Engineering, and the College of Engineering and Computer Science.

Ocean engineering research and technology development focuses on acoustics, marine vehicles, hydrodynamics and physical oceanography, marine materials, nano-composites, applied ocean systems, and ocean energy technologies. Federally and state funded research and development projects include autonomous underwater vehicle-based BOSS sonar systems, highspeed underwater modem communication, air-deployable buoys, durability of composite materials, coastline security technologies and systems for harnessing ocean energy.

SeaTech has a long-term partnership with the Naval Surface Warfare Center – Carderock Division and its South Florida Ocean Measurement Facility (SFOMF), which extends offshore south of Port Everglades. The partnership provides extensive combined in-water testing and evaluation capabilities for UUVs and other underwater systems.

obituary Dorothy G. “Dottie” Stover

Dorothy G. “Dottie” Stover was born in Saginaw, MI on February 8, 1926 to the late Paul and Marion (Payne) Goppelt. She passed away on May 3, 2018.

She married Frank Hiram “Pete” Stover, III on June 26, 1948. He preceded her in death on July 22, 1994. She is survived by a son, Frank Hiram “Hi” (Sharon) Stover IV, a daughter, Carolyn (Bruce) Stewart, her grandchildren: Hilary Stover, Frank H. “Peter” (Smensa) Stover V, Abigail Stover, Sarah Filer, and her great grandchildren: Andromeda (a.k.a. Rommey), Orion, Franky VI. A daughter, Barbara Stover Filer, preceded her in death.

Dottie loved being a wife and mother.

She persevered following the deaths of her husband and daughter and created a full life of her own. We share a sampling:

Dottie was a nearly 69-year member of First Presbyterian Church.

Her faith was very important to her. The famous quote from Billy Graham sums up his perspective on eternity: “Someday you will read or hear that Billy Graham is dead. Don’t you believe a word of it. I shall be more alive than I am now. I will just have changed my address. I will have gone into the presence of God." And so it is with Dottie.

She was 2nd in a line of 4 generations of women in the family to graduate from the University of Michigan. She always cheered on her university and always asked her doctors if they were UM grads.

Dottie’s generous nature manifest itself in many ways: she delivered Mobile Meals for more than 25 years, knit sweaters for children in Africa, sponsored a child in Mexico, had too many favorite charities to count, and committed random acts of delivering home baked items—“wormy” coffee cake, cinnamon bread, chocolate candies. If you were a recipient, you know what we mean!

Summers at Pt. Lookout included weekends with tents and flags all over the lawn, learning to clean fish, and an annual water ski wearing a special costume to delight and embarrass her family.

Boca Grande, FL was her winter home for more than 25 years—where she and

www.bocaratontribune.com

Pete entertained family for warm weather breaks and were involved in community service and more tennis.

Dottie was a world traveler, white-water rafted and played tennis into her 80s, read voraciously, rooted for the Tigers, was an ardent Scrabble player, a whiz at ping pong, and even a basket weaver. Living such a long life enabled her to do things like host an annual Christmas cookie exchange party for 50+ years. Her annual Christmas letter prompted groans from the family, but she had will of steel about its contents.

Her family will remember her black leather pants, multi-colored manicure, and colorful wardrobe. We’ll remember that she sent newspaper clippings we should be sure to read, or always went straight to the president of any company or organization and could usually talk her way in there! “That is an affront to my intelligence” was applied freely to just about anything she disliked.

She was always a joker--one liners, tap dancing on the countertop, sporting a provocative t-shirt to alarm people, and changing the score in games—always angling for a laugh. And what household wouldn’t benefit from raising a litter of 10 puppies?

We will remember our mother/ grandmother with a smile and a chuckle.

We hope you all will too.

A memorial service will be held on June 30, 2018 at 11 a.m. at the First Presbyterian Church in Bay City. The Rev. Janice Chambers will officiate. Private burial will be at Elm Lawn Cemetery.

The family will greet friends at the church from 10 a.m. until the service begins and in the fellowship hall following the service.

Memorials may be made to First Presbyterian Church, 805 Center Ave. Bay City, Michigan, 48706, or Dr. Susan Love Research Foundation, https://www. drsusanloveresearch.org/ . or Lighthouse United Methodist Church of Boca Grande.

Arrangements by Penzien-Steele Funeral Home, 608 N. Madison Ave., Bay City, MI 48708

sports Boca Raton FC Win-Streak Snapped by Miami FC

On Saturday night, Boca Raton FC returned to The Shipyard to host Miami FC. The Boys in Blue went into the match riding high on a two-game win streak but were unable to produce another positive result, falling to Miami by a score of 5-0.

From kickoff, Miami FC looked to be the more dangerous side, but the first real scoring chance came in the eighth minute as Boca Raton FC midfielder Rafinha set his sights on goal, but was denied by Miami goalkeeper Ryan Herman. Just three minutes later, Miami FC’s Jaime Chavez broke through the Boca Raton defense and opened the scoring.

Shortly after Chavez’s goal, Rafinha was brought down by a heavy challenge and had to leave the game due to an apparent ankle injury. In his postgame interview, head coach Jim Rooney described the impact of losing a key player, especially so early in a game: “Any time you lose a player with Rafa’s ability, who can control the game, it changes the dynamic of the game. It also changes the mentality of some of our players because they know what he brings to the table for us.”

Despite creating a handful of scoring chances, Boca Raton FC was unable to find a breakthrough and went into halftime trailing Miami FC 3-0.

After the break, the Boys in Blue grew into the game and had spells of possession in the attacking half. Giovanni Amoroso came closest to scoring in the 55th minute, but his long-range chip shot was saved by Herman, who did just enough to parry the ball away for a corner kick.

In the 61st minute, Miami FC midfielder Ariel Martinez was brought down in the box, resulting in the referee awarding a penalty kick to the guests.

Boca Raton FC goalkeeper Michael Stone dove to his right, producing a fantastic save, but Martinez was able to slot home the rebound to make it 4-0. Four minutes later, Martinez provided an assist for Sean McFarlane Jr, who scored the fifth and final goal.

Despite the five-goal deficit, the hosts displayed resilience in the final 25 minutes, remaining organized in defense and moving forward when possible.

Coach Rooney praised the team’s effort, saying, “Obviously we want to get a result, but I always encourage them to keep playing and fighting through it. I thought that, at the very least, we didn’t give up and kept working hard until the very end.

I was very pleased with that.”

Next Saturday, Boca Raton FC will travel to Milander Park to take on Miami United.

Richmond Tabbed to Helm Women’s Lacrosse Program

Lynn University Director of Athletics Devin Crosby announced the hiring of Mindy Richmond as the inaugural head coach of the women's lacrosse program on Friday afternoon. Richmond comes to the Fighting Knights from Indiana University of Pennsylvania and will build the institution's 19th NCAA Division II sport from the ground up with competition beginning in the 2019-20 athletic season.

The Newark, N.Y., native will assume responsibilities beginning July 2.

"Mindy's name was a constant in the various conversations we engaged in through our process to recruit the premier collegiate lacrosse coach in the nation," said Crosby. "After meeting with her and looking at her background of success and entrepreneurial thinking, it was clear she needed to lead Lynn University's women's lacrosse program."

Richmond is simply put, the greatest women's lacrosse coach in IUP history. She assumed control of the Crimson Hawks program in 2009 and has accumulated a 105-67 (.610) record with seven double-digit win seasons, six consecutive Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) postseason appearances and a program-record streak of 31 straight weeks ranked in the Intercollegiate Women's Lacrosse Coaches Association (IWLCA) Division II Poll.

"I am truly honored to be joining Lynn University as the first women's lacrosse coach," said Richmond. "I would like to thank President Kevin M. Ross and Director of Athletics Devin Crosby for entrusting me to build on the foundation of Spirit, Service and Strength that they have worked on so diligently.

"The incredible support of the athletic department, alignment of values and matched desire for success made this decision a clear one as I look to advance my career and take on a new challenge. I am anxious to use my 13 years of collegiate coaching experience to develop and establish a top-tier women's lacrosse program at Lynn and in the competitive Sunshine State Conference and spread this amazing game in the South Florida area."

While Richmond has never built a program from scratch, she inherited a Crimson Hawks program which had been through five coaches in its first 11 years of existence, recorded one winning season and managed more than three league victories just once. She became the program's all-time wins leader by her second season, and posted the first of seven consecutive double-digit win seasons by her third year at the helm.

"Mindy's personal attitude of confidence balanced with humility is in direct alignment with the Fighting Knights'

www.bocaratontribune.com

way," added Crosby. "She will establish our women's lacrosse program while mentoring our student athletes with the attributes of Spirit, Service and Strength."

During her time in Indiana, Pa., Richmond's student athletes have garnered eight All-America, three freshman All-America, 15 All-region and 33 All-PSAC selections. She took home PSAC Coach of the Year honors in 2013 after starting the year with a school-record 11 straight wins and breaking or tying 10 single-season school records.

Richmond's offenses have been exciting during her coaching tenure, as the Crimson Hawks ranked in the top-5 in scoring offense twice and top-20 four times.

Not only the first women's lacrosse coach in school history, Richmond will be just the second NCAA lacrosse coach in South Florida, joining Palm Beach Atlantic, which began its inaugural season in 2018.

Bobby Campbell Stadium will add another tenant as the women's lacrosse program will play under the lights and enjoy a new locker room provided by longtime university supporter Mary Ann Perper.

Lynn begins competition in the spring of 2020 and will join Embry-Riddle, Florida Southern, Florida Tech, Palm Beach Atlantic, Rollins, Saint Leo and Tampa in an SSC which won the 2017 national title and had schools finish as national semifinalists or better four times in the last four years.

Prior to her arrival at IUP, Richmond served two seasons on the coaching staff of her alma mater, Gannon University, where she helped the Golden Knights to a 23-8 record, a pair of top-10 national rankings and one of the top offenses in the country.

Richmond was a volunteer assistant coach at Gannon during the 2006 season following a record-breaking four-year playing career with the Golden Knights. As a senior, she led the nation with 88 goals, which were the most in school history and fourth highest single-season total in Division II history. Richmond is also at Gannon and 15th in the country in career goals with 219 and shares the school record with nine goals in a game against Saint Vincent in 2004, and scored seven or more goals in a game a total of 10 times.

Richmond was named to the IWLCA All-American squad following her junior and senior seasons and served as team captain both years. She was nominated

by Gannon for the 2005 NCAA Woman of the Year award.

Richmond received her Bachelor of Science degree in biology in 2005 and earned her master's in sport science from IUP in 2012.

FAU Baseball Closes Out Historic Season

The Florida Atlantic University baseball team notched their most victories since 2004, advanced to the Gainesville Regional championship, and made a boatload of history in the process.

On the last day of the regular season, the Owls saw their Senior Day game get washed out, but the program still celebrated the careers of eight players that took the FAU Baseball Stadium field for the last time the day prior: Kevin Abraham, Weston Clemente, Matt Harris, Jake Miednik, David Miranda, Mark Nowatnick, Drew Peden and Marc Stewart. As it turns out, now that the MLB Draft is in the books, three more Owls may have also said their final goodbyes: Tyler Frank, Kyle Marman and Cody Wilson.

The 43-19-1 squad finished third overall in the Conference USA standings, and would go 3-0 in elimination games to eventually finish as the league’s runner-up during C-USA’s postseason championship.

Gainesville was a similar track, winning three straight, including a victory on the final day of the regional over No. 1 Florida to force a deciding game against the homestanding Gators.

All told, the Owls won 12 series this season, eight by sweeps, including for the first time ever over perennial powerhouse Miami. They went 7-2-1 in conference series, 23-6 at home, and won 70 percent of their neutral site games, all in postseason play.

On the all-time yearly stat lists, as a team, hitters struck for 79 home runs, the fifth-highest mark in history, and were struck by 74 pitches, fourth highest. Pitchers struck out 505 opposing batters, good enough for third place all-time, as was their mark of 8.16 strikeouts per nine innings.

Five relievers combined for 22 saves, the best mark in the program’s 38-year history, and the Owls’ defense made for 1670 putouts, the third-highest mark, while their fielding percentage of .969 ties for fourth best ever.

On the career individual lists, hitting-wise, Frank finishes second all-time in walks (120) and 10th in doubles (43), Miranda places sixth in triples (seven) and 11th in slugging percentage (.560), and Abraham ranks third in HBP (31). Rising junior Eric Rivera will look to climb that list as well, as he is ninth currently with 23. Defensively, Abraham also finished ninth on the career putout list (758), while two returnees make the fielding percentage ledger: Andru Summerall (1.000, first) and Gunnar Lambert (.992, eighth).

On the pitching side, Nowatnick now has the program’s third-lowest career ERA (2.87) and is fifth in fewest walks per nine innings (2.19). Peden’s 13-3 win-loss record makes for a percentage of .813, fifth-best, while Miednik’s .750 (15-5) ties for 10th. Miednik is also 11th in strikeouts per nine (8.9). And Zach Schneider has the opportunity to come back for a senior season already third in saves (15).

Some 2018 season marks made

www.bocaratontribune.com

the all-time ledger as well, beginning with Joe Montes, second in at-bats (263), while Wilson placed 10th there (249). Frank’s 70 runs scored is seventh and 20 doubles is 10th, and his 52 walks ranks fourth. He also tied the program record for longest hitting streak of 24 games. Peden and Schneider make the pitching annals, with the former’s 36 appearances third, and the latter’s 15 saves second.

Beyond the nearly dozen players that will not be returning, a nucleus of position players will be back, most of which were spoke of during this episode of Mac’s Musings. Seniors will include first baseman/catcher Lambert and third baseman Montes. Lambert reached base in each of his last 30 games, and finished among the league leaders with 12 home runs and 42 walks; Montes was a model of consistency, wrapping at .293, leading the team in hits, and starting every single game on the hot corner. Catcher Pedro Pages and leftfielder/ second baseman Rivera will lead the juniors, both back for their third year, batting .309 and .277, respectively. Pages finished second on the team in hitting and showed improvement in nearly every offensive category, and Rivera led the team in RBI and will be second among returnees in getting on base.

That duo will be joined by another junior in second baseman Richie Nizza, who earned his role there by starting the last 17 games, including the entire postseason, and making a great deal of highlight-reel plays in the field. Freshman Jared DeSantolo solidified the DH slot with a .342 average, 12 extra-base hits and 24 RBI, and earning a nod on both postseason All-Tournament teams, and redshirt frosh Andru Summerall wrapped the year with nine home runs and a .467 slugging percentage while playing a flawless first base.

The pitching staff will see a bulk of returnees, mostly coming out of the bullpen, but many with starting experience.

Vince Coletti led the team in starts and will be back for his senior year, as will fellow final-year hurlers Blake Sanderson and Nick Swan. Those two have a combined seven years and 97 appearances under their belts heading in next year.

The team’s closer, Schneider, will be another member of the senior class, and pitchers moving up to their junior year include Jordan Poore and Mike Ruff. Beyond Schneider’s 15 saves, he was 7-1 with a 2.61 ERA. Both of those latter names started and relieved (and in Poore’s case, played outfield as well), with Poore’s relief ERA prior to the finale a scant 0.69, while Ruff led all on the staff with a .216 batting average against.

The Owls’ returnees and incoming class will soon be back on campus in preparation for the fall and the 2019 campaign, in what will be McCormack’s 11th year as head coach, and 29th year overall with the program.
