Community Toby And Leon Cooperman Make Jewish Federation of Palm Beach Transformative $25 Million Gift To County Raises Extraordinary $4.5 Boca Regional Million On #GivingTuesday

Boca Raton Regional Hospital Foundation has received another transformative donation towards their $250 million fund raising effort, Keeping the Promise…The Campaign for Boca Raton Regional Hospital. Noted philanthropists Toby and Leon Cooperman have made a $25 million gift, one of seven eight-figure gifts received by the campaign that has already raised $152 million toward its goal. In recognition of their generosity, the new Medical Arts Pavilion at Boca Raton Regional Hospital will bear the Toby and Leon Cooperman name. “There are few words to characterize the gratitude we feel at the hospital and in the community toward the Cooperman’s selfless generosity,” said Lincoln Mendez, new President and CEO of Boca Raton Regional Hospital, Baptist Health South Florida. “It is a remarkable, historical gift that, to us, is more than the financial resources it provides. It’s an expression of belief, an affirmation, and a trust in what we are doing at Boca Regional, our enormous campus initiative, and our future under the Baptist Health umbrella. It’s a gift that will greatly enhance vital care for our patients and everyone in this community. It represents an impact way beyond the signature on the check.” The gift was officially announced at a December 3 event at the prestigious St. Andrews Country Club in Boca Raton. More than 300 gathered to celebrate the donors and the donation, led by friends and neighbors of the benefactors and a litany of Boca Raton Regional Hospital leaders. “We have referenced many times the Talmud, where it is proclaimed that a man’s net worth is measured not by what he earns but rather what he gives away,” said Mr. Cooperman. “We are commit-

ted to give and to help others as best we can. The people of our community here in Boca Raton deserve the best possible healthcare available, and we are honored to join many others who have carefully considered the long-term vision and believe in a bright healthcare future here.” The Coopermans are noted and enduring philanthropists who have made extraordinary gifts to multiple organizations. They are signers of the Giving Pledge, initiated by Warren Buffett — one of the world’s wealthiest individuals — in “an effort to help address society’s most pressing problems by inviting the world’s wealthiest individuals and families to commit to giving more than half of their wealth to philanthropy.” Toby and Leon Cooperman intend to give all their wealth away, to those organizations, institutions and individuals that have made a difference to them in their lifetime. These have included Hunter College in New York City, Columbia University, and St. Barnabas Medical Center. They have also launched the Cooperman College Scholars Program and the Cooperman Family Fund for a Jewish Future. Leon was recently inducted into the prestigious Horatio Alger Society for having overcome his humble beginnings to achieve success on Wall Street and for his commitment to philanthropy. “Toby and Leon make their gifts for all the right reasons,” said Christine E. Lynn, Chair, Boca Raton Regional Hospital Corporate Board of Trustees, Hospital Board of Trustees. “We are eternally grateful for this extraordinary gesture of generosity. It will have an enormous impact on the care we provide, and their commitment will live on in the Medical Arts Pavilion that will bear their name for generations to come.”

Nearly 600 generous members of the community raised an inspiring $4.5 million for Jewish Federation of Palm Beach County during the global day of giving known as #GivingTuesday, held on December 3, 2019. The total was the largest raised by a Palm Beach County nonprofit, with the vital funds to be utilized to stand up for those in need and address the most vital causes in the community, in Israel and in 70 countries around the globe. More than 75 volunteers, including many teenagers, participated in lively phone-a-thons across Palm Beach County, in addition to a widescale email and social media marketing campaign, to support Federation’s 2019 Giving Tuesday initiative. In 2017, the nonprofit raised $3 million, and in 2018 the nonprofit reached nearly $4.5 million. Contributions to #GivingTuesday are directed to Federa-

tion’s 2020 Annual Campaign, and are critical in supporting the nonprofit’s work in four key areas: combating antisemitism and bigotry; providing critical services for people facing poverty, food insecurity and other crises; connecting children and teens to their Jewish identity; and creating powerful experiences that connect people with Jewish values, traditions and holidays. "Our Jewish community’s ability to stand up in solidarity and work together to positively save, change and transform the lives of others is inspiring,” shared Brian Seymour, Chair of Federation’s 2020 Annual Campaign. “Our recent Jewish Community Study highlights the significant opportunities – and needs – we have locally. I am proud to live where individuals of all ages and backgrounds are committed to generously support one another.”

Make someone’s season brighter with truly personalized gifts they’ll never forget.

Arthur Brooks Talks on Uniting Americans No one has ever been insulted into agreeing. Wise words from Monday’s LeMieux Center for Public Policy guest speaker Dr. Arthur Brooks, who spoke to students and community guests in the DeSantis Family Chapel about the political divide in United States today. Brooks is the professor of the Practice of Public Leadership at the Harvard Kennedy School. In his introduction, former U.S. Senator George LeMieux characterized Brooks’ latest book, “Love Your Enemies,” as the “most important book in America right now.” PBA President William M. B. Fleming, Jr., noted in his welcome that Brooks’ book reminded him of the University’s core values of accountability, excellence, integrity, respect, love and unity. Brooks, who served for 10 years as president of the American Enterprise Institute (AEI), one of the world’s leading think tanks, said that the polarization in American politics is the “biggest problem facing our country.” The bestselling author, social scientist, and Washington Post columnist offered the audience solutions in order to “empower you to be a change maker.” In the audience were members of the LeMieux Center for Public Policy Advisory Board and Palm Beach Atlantic students who are former American Enterprise Institute interns: Megan Alsene, Maddie Gregory, Sarah Kilpatrick, Amber Ledbury and Andrew Mercantini. A French horn quartet, comprised of PBA students Alyssa Cloud, Jessica Dennis, Christopher Loomis and Joshua Stancil performed several Christmas selections in honor of the Brooks, himself a French

horn player who worked professionally as a musician earlier in his career. Brooks briefly shared how he came to formulate his solution to the divide in America, reminding the audience he grew up in Seattle, raised by parents who shared the liberal values of that part of the county. He noted that his parents raised him to “think for himself,” perhaps not realizing that their son would develop a more conservative perspective. Today, the hostile groups “view each other exactly the same” as stupid or evil. “My parents were not stupid or evil,” Brooks said. “I remembered that they were talking about my mom.” That realization inspired him to work to bring people together by having the courage to speak up for those on the margins noting that “it’s harder to stand up to the people with whom you agree.” Showing contempt for those who hold different viewpoints has become a habit, Brooks said. He encouraged the audience to break that habit, by stopping at the point of becoming angry and responding with gratitude and warm feelings. “Each one of us has the power to break the cycle,” Brooks advised. His tips for fostering more civil discourse on political matters include tuning out those who profit from pitting citizens against one another; he called on members of the audience to defuse contempt wherever they encounter it; and he encouraged everyone to express more gratitude in those tense situations. “Gratitude is the fast track for changing yourself and others,” he concluded.

Community Partners Team Members Accepted into Nonprofits First Rising Leaders Community Partners of South Florida is proud to announce that four staff members have been accepted into the 2020 Rising Leaders program presented by Nonprofits First. Wynsome McLean, Ana Lopez, Schiller Ambroise and Jennifer Crane will be a part of the nonprofit leadership program, a competitive 6-month program that prepares nonprofit program managers to transform into the sector’s new generation of top leaders. Participants, who come from 20 Palm Beach County nonprofit organizations, will acquire a deeper understanding of their own leadership styles while gaining hands-on experience in strategies for leading their programs and organization to a high level of impact and success. The Rising Leaders experience fosters interaction, discovery, dialogue, and servant leadership as participants increase skills to lead the nonprofit field. Alumni of the program transfer skills directly to their current roles and many go on to serve in executive level positions in the nonprofit sector. Nonprofit organizations are a major

economic force in Palm Beach County, employing nearly 30,000 people with total annual wages of almost $1.2 billion in Palm Beach County alone (see Florida Nonprofit Alliance’s website for more eye-opening info about the nonprofit sector in the Sunshine State). The class members were nominated by their managers and selected for their leadership qualities, passion for their missions, and eagerness to learn new skills. They will meet as a group for one full day each month, from November to June, engaging in topics such as new models of leadership, driving social change, public speaking, and critical thinking and decision-making. They will also conduct an extracurricular small group project designed to assist a local charitable or civic organization. “Rising Leaders is the next generation of leadership in the nonprofit sector, succession planning at its best,” said Jessica Cecere, CEO of Nonprofits First. Rising Leaders has graduated over 325 nonprofit leaders since the program launched in 2005.

City Council to make Decision on Brightline Station this Tuesday

By: Dina Bodner As most residents of Boca Raton know, Brightline is planning on building a stop in Boca Raton, near N. Dixie Highway. There has been an ongoing battle referring to the building of this train station and on whether or not it is necessary. This train station is also supposed to come along with a parking garage for it. According to WPTV, this upcoming Tuesday, Dec. 10 the Boca Raton City Commission will have a vote on whether Brightline – soon to be known as Virgin Trains USA – should be allowed to build their train station under a lease agreement with the city. The agreement states that the

City of Boca Raton should pay $12 million for the parking garage and for Brightline to pay for the whole station. With that amount of money involved, it is easy to see why it is questionable whether or not the station is necessary. Not only is it questionable because of the money, but also the disturbance it may cause residents. The build may create major traffic along N. Dixie Highway and the area all around the Boca Raton Public Library. Along with traffic, there is the loud noise of construction for the next year, which may very likely anger many residents. According to WPTV, If this lease agreement does pass, then Brightline should be done with building the train station by the end of next year.

EDITORIAL By C. Ron Allen

Children Who Live With Fear Will Not Feel Safe “We live this every day. We go to schools and you hear that [some] kids have guns. They have Code Red lockdowns all the time. It makes it hard for you to focus and learn.” I do not usually start my columns with a quote. But these were the words that rang in my ears after an angry disenfranchised young man mowed down 17 children and teachers at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland on Wednesday. Like everyone else, I was outraged that we suffered yet another unnecessary and inexplicable mass shooting on U.S. soil. But it pierced my heart even deeper when some students in my mentoring program shared their unfiltered concerns about gun control. “When are the politicians going to do something to protect students, Mr. C. Ron?” one of my students asked me. “What are we going to do now? You are going to see all the crazies coming out and being copy cats now,” another followed.

They were looking to me for answers. Anyone who knows me, knows I am rarely at a loss for words. These questions, which we hear every time there is a mass shooting, stumped me though. After all, of all the senseless tragedies we have experienced in the past 20 years, school shootings are the most shocking and least explainable. I am afraid that school shootings soon will become so commonplace that they will not be front page news anymore. We are only 47 days into this year and already we have had 17 incidents where a gun was fired on school grounds. We are taught and we teach our kids that schools are supposed to be a safe place and after all, Wednesday was Valentine’s Day, a day set aside to celebrate love. As I watched those terrified students screaming and rushing out of the building, some innocently must have grabbed their hearts - balloons and even roses - and carried it outside the door. Symbolically, they did not want to leave their hearts in the school.

My student was right. She always thought schools were supposed to be safe havens. But as I reminded her, unfortunately, it appears the only time they are guaranteed safe zones is during natural disasters such as hurricanes and snow storms. Shootings such as Wednesday’s and Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Connecticut, erased the notion of school as a cocoon. All nine students who were with me said they felt the government failed them. Based on our response after each shooting, how can I disagree with them? However, despite one person’s attempt to wreak havoc, there were brave teachers and other school officials who paid the ultimate price to protect our kids. I fear such carnage will continue until our leaders in Washington enact some common-sense gun control legislation instead of continue to loosen gun laws. “Unless one of the NRA people’s or those politicians’ children or [loved ones] are victims of gun violence,

they are not going to do anything about gun control,” one student said. Unfortunately, after each massacre, survivors and witnesses echo the same refrain: “Something must be done” still mass shootings have continued to plague the nation. In fact, the number of shootings only have soared over the past few years. I have no proof to say whether it would have prevented Wednesday’s massacre but less than a year ago, our legislators rolled back a law to keep guns out of the hands of some severely mentally ill people. These days, as I listen to the news conferences, I keep hearing the new buzz phrase, “People who are mentally ill should not have guns.” So now they are taking the onus off gun owners and laws that support gun control and putting it on mental illness. The real truth is if anyone – whether a person in his or her sound mind or Nikolas Cruz - did not have access to the guns, those 17 innocent victims would still be here with us.

POSITIVE LIVING By Robert J. Tamasy

What’s the Reason Behind Your Work? Why do you go to work? For many of us, we would not have to blink before answering: “I work to make a living.” “I work to earn an income that can support the kind of life I want to live.” “I work so I can pay my bills.” None of these answers are wrong, but are they good enough? Recently I attended a breakfast meeting where the guest speaker said we should consider at this question from another perspective. “Do you work to earn a living?” he asked, “or do you work to make a difference?” Without question, work does enable us to live and meet our financial obligations. Bills do not pay themselves. And food, clothing and other necessities don’t miraculously materialize. If we need something, it requires money to obtain it. However, as the speaker suggested, if we approach work only for the compensation we receive, we will regard it as an obligation

December 6 - December 12, 2019

and not an opportunity. There are many ways we can make a difference through we work we perform and responsibilities we carry out. A law enforcement officer, for example, can either view his or her job as being paid to apprehend law breakers, or begin each day with an unwavering determination to use their roles of authority for making their communities better places to live. Teachers can regard their jobs as sources of income or as a way for having a positive impact in the lives of their students, helping to shape them into productive people. Some professions, such as practicing medicine or law, or being top executives, often enable people to earn lucrative incomes. But as many people have discovered, no matter how much money you earn, it is never enough. When one wealthy businessman was asked, “How much is enough?”, he immediately responded, “Just

a little bit more.” So the excitement over how much one gets paid soon fades, However, if the focus is on making a difference in the world, or in the lives of individual people, there is no limit to the intangible rewards we can receive as we go to work each day. We see this truth addressed in the Scriptures in many ways. Here are some examples: We are created to do good. Nowhere in the Bible does it say the purpose of work is only “to earn a living.” It does say, however, the work we are uniquely positioned and called to perform has been specially designed for do. “For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do” (Ephesians 2:10). Through our work we can bring light to a world of growing darkness. For many reasons, we live in a world of growing

www.bocaratontribune.com

negativity. Times often seem increasingly dark and disheartening. Through our work, we have the privilege of bringing the light of hope, affirming the life-giving truths and principles God has presented through His Word, the Scriptures. “In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven” (Matthew 5:16). We can find fulfillment in work well done. God has entrusted each of us with specific, unique talents and abilities. In doing our work – and serving others – we also are honoring Him. “Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might…” (Ecclesiastes 9:10). “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men…. It is the Lord Christ you are serving” (Colossians 3:23-24).

The Ever-Changing Tools of the Trade

Jay Feder Jewelers Cocktail Reception I attended the charity fundraiser and cocktail party at Jay Feder Jewelers honoring Boca Philanthropist, Arthur Adler along with my daughter, Melanie who was visiting from New York City.

The “tools” I was given for my first job in public accounting included an adding machine, pencils, and a pad of green columnar paper. The only computer I recall was a $1 million albatross located at a client’s office that no one could figure out how to use. How the times have changed since then! Today, my laptop computer is about the size of my former adding machine, capable of putting that $1 million dinosaur of a computer to shame. My laptop has eliminated the need for an adding machine, I rarely use a pencil for anything, and the green accounting paper has been replaced by software with a capacity for doing work we could not have imagined during the first years of my career. What is most interesting about this is how along with not being able to anticipate today’s advancements in decades past, we know that technology continues to present us with new tools and resources that we cannot envision right now. Just when we start thinking we have “arrived” in terms of technological breakthroughs, we learn about some new innovation. This is true not only for the workplace, but also for every aspect of our personal lives. If it has been a few years since purchasing a new car, we find ourselves amazed at new additions that make driving safer and more comfortable. Advances in communications move so quickly, it is almost impossible to keep pace with them. All of this newness continues to amaze us, but the Scriptures tell us we can eagerly look forward to discovering new things in the spiritual realm as well. In Isaiah 42:9, God said, “See, the former things have taken place, and new things I declare; before they spring into being I announce them to you.” If we look at the “book of

beginnings,” the Old Testament book of Genesis, we read about God’s work of creation, how He started with nothing and created an entire universe and proceeded to create the world we know, along with everything in it – foremost of all, humankind. Finally, Genesis 2:1-2 tells us, “Then the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array. By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing, so on the seventh day he rested from all his work.” However, this did not mean God forever ceased from His plan to create and oversee the wonders that we experience every day. As Jesus Christ told His followers, “My Father is always at his work to this very day, and I too am working” (John 5:17). Best of all, this work is not limited to a broad, general sense. God’s work of “newness” takes place in the lives of each of His people every day. He can and desires to perform an act of recreation in us as well. As the apostle Paul wrote, “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!” As the seasons change, we see a continual march of new replacing the old. And as the Spirit of God works in our hearts, we can experience new life – new desires, new motives, new values and new strength – moving in to replace our old lives that brought us so much failure and frustration. The future tools of our trades, the resources we utilize for performing our daily jobs, are usually announced in a very rudimentary form. However, if we pay attention and are receptive, we can be prepared for the new things God has declared that He will do in us and through us, for His glory, whether it is where we work or where we live.

New School in Honduras Allows Children to Attend Classes in Their E F I L A BEAM , Retirement & Wealth Advice Own Community x n Ta

o Uncomm

(877) 972-3262

Children in La Cuchilla, Honduras, have the opportunity to attend school for the first time in their own community, thanks to the generosity of the Levitetz Family Foundation. The new Escuela Blas Guerrero was recently inaugurated with representatives of the Levitetz Family Foundation and Food For The Poor. Before the school was built, about 90 percent of the children in La Cuchilla didn’t attend classes. The nearest school was an hour’s walk away and parents refused to allow their children to walk that distance because of exhaustion and dangers they would face along the way. Daniella Jordan, Executive Director of the Levitetz Family Foundation, told an appreciative crowd of parents and community members that the new school will help many children, who will learn to help themselves and, in time, grow up to help others. “This school opening has touched our hearts in so many ways and we have certainly left a piece of it behind in Honduras,” Jordan said. “We are so happy to be a part of helping a community in such need. To think that there was no school in the area was heartbreaking. A large number of kids were not receiving an education because of how far away and dangerous the roads are,” she added. A mother described the school as a dream come true. “There are no words to say how thankful I am,” she said. “We want to thank God because with Him all these things were made possible.” One of the boys said, “I am just so happy and thankful because of this miracle that God brought to us.” During their four-day trip to Honduras, Jordan and Dyane Santos, Executive Assistant to Jeff Levitetz, also visited the Choloma Community Development Project. It is the largest under way in Honduras. They also visited a music school and an Angels Of Hope home. Escuela Blas Guerrero is the seventh school built through Food For The Poor by the Levitetz Family Foundation, but the first in Honduras. It was named after the man who donated the land for the school, and built in honor of Alan Canfield, a lifelong friend of Jeff Levitetz who introduced Levitetz to Food For The Poor.

The Levitetz Family Foundation works with local, national and international nonprofit organizations to create possibilities and opportunities to succeed. A successful businessman, Jeff Levitetz founded Purity Wholesale Grocers, Inc. in 1982. The once-small independent company in the Midwest is now a nationwide network of companies and is headquartered in Boca Raton, Fla. The new school, which is scheduled to open when the next term begins in February, will benefit about 65 children in the first through sixth grades. The concrete structure has three classrooms, a kitchen, two bathrooms and a handwashing station. Food For The Poor donated four computer systems to the school that allow sharing of one PC with up to six users. A playground was also built for the children. Humanity and Hope United Foundation is providing electricity and kitchen equipment for the school. CEPUDO, Food For The Poor’s in-country partner in Honduras, managed the project. Alexander Lopez-Orellano, Mayor of El Progreso, presented Jordan and Santos with a plaque honoring the Levitetz Family Foundation’s contribution to the community. Daniel Mejia, Strategic Initiatives Coordinator for Humanity and Hope United Foundation, said the new school assures that no child in La Cuchilla misses the opportunity to receive an education. “These kids are the future of their village,” Mejia said. “Receiving an education is an essential milestone in the process of becoming hardworking men and women, who will in the future provide for themselves and their families and contribute to build the sustainable community of La Cuchilla.” Food For The Poor President/ CEO Robin Mahfood thanked the Levitetz Family Foundation for making the dream of a school possible for the parents and children of La Cuchilla. “Education is the only thing that will help you with your dreams,” Mahfood said. “I hope that in 10 years these students will be the future doctors, teachers, nurses, lawyers and leaders of Honduras. I am thankful we are a part of this lasting legacy.”

Nine Protesters Arrested Outside of GEO Group Headquarters

By: Dina Bodner The Geo Group, a company that specializes in rehabilitation and postrehabilitation, has recently had a contact with local activists. Recently, outside of the company’s Boca Raton headquarters were nine protestors, protesting how the detainees who are undocumented immigrants are seriously mistreated. According to the Sun-Sentinel, the activists were holding up signs saying, “no more jails, let them free.” The Geo Group claims that the protesters were given false information about the com-

December 6 - December 12, 2019

pany and that the company would do anything to ensure their employees are safe. But, in order for the police to remove the protesters from the scene, they were struck with a challenge – the activists used cement and tar to make it difficult for them to move. In order for police to safely remove the protesters, it took anywhere between half an hour to an hour for each person to be cut free. Currently, the Geo Group is the operator of the center for teens who illegally entered the country, the Broward Transitional Center. The Sun-Sentinel states that the Geo Group is one of the largest contractors for detention centers, and has contracts with both the Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the Marshals service.

Florida’s Brightline train service has worst death-rate in U.S. By: Justin Baronoff When Florida’s rail service, Brightline, was officially established in January 2018, many thought it would be provide safer and faster transportation between Miami, Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach. However, almost two years later, that has not been the case, as more than 40 deaths, caused by the train, have been reported, with the first death occurring in July 2017 during a test run before the train service was even available to the public. According to the Associated Press’s analysis of Federal Railroad Administration data, those 40 deaths have led to a rate of more than one death a month and about one death for every 29,000 miles the trains have traveled. While the Palm Beach Post has reported that the deaths were neither caused by Brightline crew error nor obsolete

equipment, Brightline President Patrick Goddard understands the scrutiny of the company. “Even though it is not [the crew’s] fault, they feel like it is … and a lot of them suffer,” Goddard said. “There is nothing we would want more than for that number [of deaths] to go to zero.” With many of the deaths resulting from suicides and both drugs and alcohol found in some of the victims’ systems, Brightline and Gooddard have now been taking measures with suicide prevention groups, such as planting barriers, putting up four-way gates at major road crossings and talking with cities about eliminating side-street crossings. As Brightline currently continues to rebrand into Virgin Trains USA, The Federal Railroad Administration has not made any public comments addressing the suicides, but nonetheless reiterate that the “top priority is safety.”

sports University of Arkansas keen on FAU’s Lane Kiffin

By: Justin Baronoff After the Florida Atlantic University Owls football team defeated the University of Southern Mississippi on Saturday, Nov. 30, 34-17, to advance to the Conference USA Championship against the University of Alabama-Birmingham on Saturday, Dec. 7, head coach Lane Kiffin met with an unexpected visitor. According to CBS Sports, that visitor was University of Arkansas Athletic Director Hunter Yurachek, who has been searching for the Razorbacks new football coach since firing former head coach Chad Morris on Nov. 10. Yurachek, who has been the Razorbacks Athletic Director since December 2o17, which, coincidentally, is the last time FAU played in the C-USA Championship, visited Kiffin and Boca Raton, Fla. on Sunday, Dec. 2 to discuss filling the head coaching vacancy. This season, Morris and the

Razorbacks finished in last place of the Southeastern Conference with 2-10 overall record and an 0-8 conference record. In Morris’s less than two seasons as the head coach, he had only won four games with zero coming against SEC opponents. While Kiffin has not accepted any other head coaching jobs yet, he has continued to receive interest from other universities, such as Florida State University, who fired their head coach, Willie Taggart, on Nov. 2. Nonetheless, Kiffin’s focus remains on the C-USA Championship game against UAB, in hopes of capturing his second conference championship title in his three seasons at FAU. Kickoff is set for 1:30p.m. at FAU Stadium. “It’s been a great run so far, [we’ve] won nine of our last 10,” Kiffin said, according to FAU Sports. “Things fell into place for us to not just make the game but have it at home, so we’re excited about that.”

Sailfish Season Ends at Hands of Bulldogs in NCAA Tournament

The Palm Beach Atlantic men's soccer team played their last game of the season tonight after losing in the semifinal round of Super-Region 2. The No. 7 ranked and 2nd seeded Sailfish fell 3-1 to Wingate University, who are champions out of the South Athletic Conference. PBA ends its season in the round of sixteen, with a 15-3-3 record, after finishing second in the Sunshine State Conference, and having made the NCAA Tournament for the fifth straight season. The Sailfish and the Bulldogs played the majority of the first 45 minutes of the match without either team being able to break down the opposition's defense. The best chance of the half fell to PBA striker Marc Hebbeker who was unable to put a shot on target after getting behind the Bulldog defense and being played into the right side of the Wingate box. The 'Fish outshot the Bulldogs 5-2 in the first half, forcing Wingate keeper Jens Bergendorff into two saves. Defensively, Sailfish centerbacks Thomas Spear and Mo Redjeb, who have been so good in the Sailfish backline all year, kept one of the most dangerous strikers in the country in Paul Ngongo under wraps throughout the first half, holding him without a shot on goal. The two sides went to the break tied 0-0 in a physical affair that would see things grow chippy as the game progressed into the second half. Throughout the majority of the game, the Sailfish were able to play their possession game and control the pace of the play while the Bulldogs looked to counter-attack and play direct to their dangerous forward. Unfortunately for the Sailfish, a trio of mistakes in the second half presented Wingate with op-

www.bocaratontribune.com

portunities that they finished clinically. Blake Barribeau was caught in possession seven minutes into the second half, and Wingate's Elliott Cutts found a streaking Ngongo who beat PBA keeper Patrick Nettekoven to open the scoring. From that point on, the Sailfish controlled even more of the ball and were on the front foot for nearly ten minutes after the Bulldog goal when substitute Guillermo Deal dribbled by Wingate defenders. Deal fired a low tight angled shot from the right side of the box that went under Bergendorff and equalized for PBA. Just when it appeared that the 'Fish were playing their best soccer of the match, Mo Redjeb mishandled a long ball and brought down a Wingate forward in the box. Cutts stepped up to the spot and beat Nettekoven and the Bulldogs took the lead against the run of second-half play in the 75th minute. Nine minutes later, Ngongo took the ball off Thomas Spear and streaked away to score his second goal of the game in a one-on-one situation with Nettekoven. The goals from Ngongo were his 20th and 21st of the season. The Sailfish outshot the Bulldogs 11-7 and controlled 58 percent of the possession in the game, but as coach Brian Mcmahon said after the game, " You have to credit Wingate for how they were able to capitalize on their chances. That's what it is about this time of the year. I liked how we played but Wingate took their chances and defended well". Wingate advances with the win and will face the No. 1 seed Lynn on Saturday night for the Super-Region 2 crown.
