COMMUNITY Chandramohan to receive STEM Champion award

Since 2017, Dr. Sankaranarayana Chandramohan, known as Dr. Chandra, has organized 13 STEM Saturdays, an initiative he started at Palm Beach State College to introduce students (pre-K-12) to STEM subjects through interactive exhibits and activities.

Last year, he went a step further and organized the first STEAM Fest, which involved several community partners and drew nearly 800 people from the community. It was such a huge success that he is spearheading it again on Nov. 16.

For these efforts and more, Chandramohan, a professor of anatomy physiology and microbiology on the Lake Worth campus, will receive a STEM Champion award from the South Florida Science Center and Aquarium. It will be presented during the 2019 STEM Innovation Awards ceremony, set for 6 to 9 p.m.

Sept. 7, at the center.

The award recognizes an individual who has made extraordinary contributions to the creation, facilitation or continuation of STEM programming directly impacting K-12 education. Other award categories are Corporate Visionary, Rising Star, Educator/Collaborator and STEAM/Arts Partner.

He was chosen from nearly 100 nominations in the category by a selection committee comprised of Science Center staff and business partners.

“Dr. Chandra was a clear frontrunner in the most popular STEM awards category,” said Kate Arrizza, CEO of the Science Center who was part of the committee. “His multiple nominations highlighted the extensive work he does throughout our community as a result of his educational programs and volun-

teerism. “STEM Saturdays and STEAM Fest are only two examples of programs founded by Dr. Chandra at PBSC which have connected our local neighborhoods to hands-on learning, inspiring the next generation of young scientists and technologists.”

In addition to STEM Saturdays and STEAM Fest, Chandramohan has also helped organize PBSC Science Days and helped many students to attend STEM-related annual conferences.

He has also developed and helped students gain free access to electronic textbooks and open educational resources, created individual and group STEM study sessions in collaboration with the Student Learning Center, and plans to develop an alumni network of his former students working in STEM disciplines who can guide current students toward their professional goals.

Chandramohan also mentors STEM adjunct faculty, sharing job and professional development opportunities and helping them prepare for interviews.

This won’t be the first award Chandramohan has won from the Science Center. In 2017, he received the center’s Award of Excellence for Volunteer Service for hosting information/demonstration tables that complemented its exhibits with the help of his PBSC students, among other activities.

Chandramohan said he could not do all that he does without the continuing enthusiasm and support from his family members, PBSC student, staff and faculty volunteers, college administration and community presenters and participants, especially the DeFilippo and Reddy families.

participating. Guests enjoyed a buffet, refreshments and raffles. “We had a great turnout for the 3rdannual fundraiser.

We always enjoy the opportunity to partner and host local nonprofits at Hooters.

We were thrilled for the opportunity to help local kids in our community, said LTP Management Managing Partner Chris Torelli.

Boca Raton Fire Recue Explorer Post 315 is a program for youth that are ages 14-21 who are interested in the Fire Service.

The goal of the program is to transform youth from a group of kids to an organization of young adults with discipline, dedication, and passion for the fire service. We produce the most highly qualified and well-prepared candidates that the fire service could ever ask for. These young men and women will accomplish all of this while still in high school, by attending weekly meetings where we train and drill in firefighting operations and emergency medical services. The Explorers also volunteer in the community and participate in a ride-along program, in which they respond to emergency calls with our firefighter/paramedics. The title "Explorer" is earned, not given, and it is synonymous with hard work and professionalism.

Anyone who has the privilege of earning that title will hold on to life lessons and apply them to anything that they choose to pursue, whether in the fire service, college, or other career opportunity.

PBA Offers Ministry Courses at South Florida Megachurch

Church by the Glades interns can take courses toward their bachelor’s degree at the Coral Springs megachurch through a partnership with PBA.

PBA faculty teach courses to 18 students in a classroom at Church by the Glades and online, said Dr. Jonathan Grenz, dean of the School of Ministry.

On average, there will be two courses per semester at Church by the Glades and three online. Students are Church by the Glades interns for the entirety of their bachelor of arts in ministry program.

Their classroom learning brings up new questions about their ministry experience and vice versa, Grenz said.

“Experience and the classroom are in conversation,” Grenz said.

The interns serve in a variety of ministries, such as children’s and youth programs, first impressions, media production and worship. Church by the Glades is among the fastest-growing and largest churches in America, drawing 9,700 people to its multiple locations each week, according to Outreach magazine.

The youngest student-intern

August 30 - September 5, 2019

is 17 and the oldest is 50, said Brittany Henson, associate director for admissions operations. The median age is 20. The demographics defy expectations that the partnership would primarily attract students who just graduated high school, Grenz said.

Students are required to gain acceptance to both the church’s internship program and the University, said Vice President for Admissions Tim Worley ’94.

They can earn their PBA degree for a discounted $10,000 per year and remain eligible for state and outside aid.

The bachelor’s degree plan is set up in such a way that students can complete the accelerated bachelor’s and Master of Divinity program if they choose, Grenz said.

Grenz and Worley hope to replicate the partnership — and what PBA and Church by the Glades learn together — at other locations.

“We want to take this opportunity to other churches throughout the state and, potentially, out of state,” Worley said.

FAU Attracts Record Number Of National Merit Scholars

Florida Atlantic University has welcomed a record number of National Merit Scholars for the fall 2019 semester.

A total of 35 National Merit Scholars are enrolled this semester and 11 of those finalists will join the Harriet L. Wilkes Honors College at FAU's John D. MacArthur Campus in Jupiter.

“We are pleased to welcome this outstanding group of students,” said Debbi Johnson-Rais, Ed.D., director of the FAU Scholars Program. “Florida Atlantic University considers it a privilege to offer National Merit scholars a wealth of tailored experiences and opportunities that include top-notch programming and support services, as well as exceptional research opportunities.

Out of the 24 new National Merit Scholars, nine of them are from

Florida Atlantic University High School.

To become a National Merit finalist, each semifinalist had to submit a detailed scholarship application, which includes their academic record, extracurricular activities, demonstrated leadership abilities, employment history, honors and awards. They also had to be endorsed by a high school official, submit an essay and perform well on the SAT.

The number of National Merit Scholars has increased every year since the fall 2015 semester. Last year, FAU had 22 National Merit Scholars enrolled for the fall 2018 semester.

The National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC) is a not-for-profit organization that identifies and honors academically talented U.S. high school students.

Golden Agers Regain Their Freedom to Travel, Thanks to “Uncle Bob”

While it may take a village to raise a child, some Lake Delray Apartment residents and staff are discovering that it also takes a village to support the senior citizens population.

When Palm Tran discontinued the bus that served the residents because of poor ridership last September, it sent them into a tizzy.

“The loss of the bus stole the independence from a lot of our residents,” property manager Craig Kaitin told me this week. “It also impacted their social lives.”

Over the past 100 years, the automobile and the independence it affords have literally changed the world. Many of the 465 residents - in their 70s, 80s and 90s - do not have their own transportation. So, if they can’t get out, they are stuck in their apartments, Kaitin added.

Immobility can lead to depression and isolation, both of which are proven to be detrimental to seniors’ health.

Many said that for the past 10

months they had to rely on friends or relatives to take them to the grocery store, which, after a while, was not the most comfortable thing to do.

It’s no surprise why it can be so devastating for many seniors who lose the privilege to drive.

Many of the 465 residents - in their 70s, 80s and 90s - do not have their own transportation. So, if they can’t get out, they are stuck in their apartments, “And we have a lot of events and people could not get to it,” Kaitin said.

Such was the case until Delray Beach Housing Authority board member Ezra Krieg reached out to Palm Beach County Commissioner Robert Weinroth, who happens to be Boca Raton’s own.

Weinroth, who represents eastern Boca Raton, also is the commissioner the area of the city where Lake Delray is.

Ironically, Lake Delray and Palm Tran big wigs met in the past to iron things out, but “they were not interested in changing anything,” Kaitin said. “Palm Tran is a for profit business, and I under-

stand that….”

After an impasse, they called on “Uncle Bob” and as usual, he worked his magic. The residents got a small van from Palm Tran, capable of transporting eight passengers including two in wheelchairs.

The van is now a welcome relief to the residents, some of whom had to walk as far as ¾ of a mile from their building to the bus stop.

The service, which is for Lake Delray Apartment residents, will shuttle residents to the Publix, Walgreens and WalMart on South Federal Highway between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. weekdays.

“Pleased to be able to announce the launch of a pilot mobility program.

The new shopper shuttle is providing the community with access to neighboring retail businesses and fixed route stops,” read a post on Weinroth’s Facebook page.

“Palm Tran is viewing this pilot as an opportunity to determine how best to service residents who aren’t able to access the fixed route public transportation from their residences.”

In April, county officials broke ground for their expanded $25 million Palm Tran headquarters in Delray Beach.

The project will feature nine charging stations for fully electric, zero emissions buses, which could and would make Palm Tran among the leading companies in the area to have a fleet of electric buses.

With Palm Tran leading the way with electric buses, I wouldn’t be surprised if we see autonomous shuttles in Lake Delray or other retirement communities. After all, they are already being used to ferry people in industrial complexes, shopping centers and airports around the country.

Given this technology, selfdriving shuttles could be a perfect fit for retirement communities, which have low speed limits and predictable routes — say, from the pool to the dining hall or even from the community’s club house to nearby shopping or restaurants.

POSITIVE LIVING

The Business of Brokenness

What do you typically do with something that gets broken, like a smartphone, a watch, a pen, or even a car? Try getting it repaired? Dispose of it? Or find a suitable replacement? Such responses are common, but recently I was reading about a better way of repairing cherished possessions that can actually make them more valuable.

Have you heard about “Kintsugi”? Also called Kintsukuroi, it means “golden repair.” It’s a centuries-old Japanese art for restoring broken pottery with lacquer dusted or mixed with precious metal, such as gold, silver or platinum.

This process is rooted in a philosophy that regards breakage and repair as part of the valued object’s history, rather than something to be disguised or forgotten. In effect, this amounts to a celebration of the brokenness.

This caused me to think about the episodes of brokenness we experience

August 30 - September 5, 2019

throughout the course of this journey we call life. No matter how much we try to avoid it, failure figures as prominently in our careers as does success: Job interviews for promising jobs don’t work out.

Much-anticipated promotions don’t come.

Well-conceived business ventures don’t succeed. Sales contracts are not finalized.

Entrepreneurs have to file for bankruptcy, sometimes more than once, when risks are not rewarded.

What if, instead of trying to ignore or conceal such failures and broken times, we gave them the Kintsugi treatment, seeing negative experiences as opportunities for growth, to persevere until we achieve success?

Brokenness can serve valuable purposes in our personal lives as well. In fact, the Bible teaches that God uses it to build us into the men and women He desires for us to become. Psalm 51:17 says, “The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit;

a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.” Why is this? Let’s look at some other Scripture passages to find an answer:

Brokenness develops necessary humility. Success has the tendency to make us feel puffed up, filled with pride and thinking more highly of ourselves than we should. “For thus says the One who is high and lifted up, who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: ‘I dwell in a high and holy place, and with the oppressed and humble of spirit, to restore the spirit of the lowly and revive the heart of the contrite’” (Isaiah 57:15).

Brokenness gets our hearts back on the right course. Sometimes our outward actions seem right, but deep down we realize they are based on the wrong motives. Being broken can cause us to reexamine not only what we do, but also why we are doing it. “Does the LORD delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices

www.bocaratontribune.com

as much as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, obedience is better than sacrifice, and attentiveness is better than the fat of rams” (1 Samuel 15:22).

Brokenness can turn our eyes back to God. When things are going well for us, both professionally and personally, we can become tempted to forget our reliance on God. “So rend your hearts and not your garments, and return to the LORD your God. For He is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger, and abounding in loving devotion” (Joel 2:13).

Brokenness helps us learn to be dependent. The business and professional world often promotes an attitude of, “I can do this all by myself.” Experiencing brokenness can bring us to the end of our trust in self-sufficiency. Jesus declared, declared, “I am the vine, you are the branches…apart from Me you can do nothing” (John 15:5).

Thinking Through Workplace Priorities

Tri-County Humane Society Event This past weekend, Tri-County Humane Society hosted a doggy meet and greet at the Batch Gastropub in Delray Beach. A large variety of dogs and their owners enjoyed a fun afternoon. There was an adorable chihuahua with blue eyes up for adoption.

Early in my business career, like many young people I was trying to gain an understanding of what striving for success would require. One of the things I learned in this process was far from anything I had anticipated.

The first time I met Gregg, he said, “Rick, if you choose to work with me, you need to know my priorities in life. God’s first, my family’s second, and this job is third.” Being a person who had been “running from God” for decades, listing priorities in that order was alien to my thinking. I could not imagine how Gregg’s priorities would impact the way he ran the bank where we worked.

Soon, however, it became clear.

Before moving forward on major tasks, Gregg made his business decisions by first considering God and His principles, as they are presented in the Bible.

Observing how he made those decisions revealed to me how to seek God’s wisdom, and encouraged me to consider how placing Him first – as my top priority – could have a positive impact on my work, its quality and effectiveness.

My perspectives on work and my priorities in life did not change overnight, but Gregg’s example and the ideas he had sown in my mind had a profound effect on me. Those later bore fruit, revolutionizing my thinking about business, its purpose – and my own. Ultimately, it led me to establish a consulting ministry in which I seek to help others to also understand what it means if we follow Jesus’ admonition when He said, “But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you” (Matthew 6:33).

Putting God first in our lives is easier said than done. First, we must believe it is even possible to do, and then

www.bocaratontribune.com

act upon that belief. Be assured there will be challenges along the way, testing our convictions. There are times when we wonder, “If I insist on putting God first, this will never work.” We might be tempted to think, “Well, a minor compromise will not hurt, will it? I will bend the rules this time, but after this, no more.”

This, however, is one reason we read, “Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking nothing” (James 1:2-4). When our faith is tested, including our desire to remain true to priorities we have established, perseverance develops. This enables us to stay true to our convictions, even when it becomes difficult.

Some people might think that making God the top priority is a nicesounding ideal, but not very practical. We live and work in a highly competitive, unyielding marketplace environment where most people are operating according to rules that run counter to biblical principles. How can we thrive under those circumstances? We have to be realistic, right?

That is what I thought when I met Gregg. But he proved me wrong.

Even when confronted with adversity, or when a particular decision was very difficult, he never wavered. He stayed true to the priorities as he had stated them to me – God, family, then job. There were times when there was a cost to pay, a necessary sacrifice, but he never had to compromise his values. And he never regretted taking such a stand.

Let me ask you: What place does God have in your work priorities?

FAU High School Student Back From Space, School That Is

Florida Atlantic University High School student Connor Cane, 15, recently was one of only four students to represent the United States and one of only 47 students from across the world to participate in the United Space School in Houston, Texas. The elite two-week program brought together the brightest international students between the ages of 15-19 at NASA’s Manned Space Flight Center at the Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center.

“It was such a unique experience that I was fortunate enough to be selected for,” said Cane. “I got to collaborate with people from all over the world – I made a lot of friendships.”

The program involved planning a mission to Mars with NASA scientists and engineers, in which students were assigned mission-specific teams based on their interests and interviews. Cane was a member of the green team, tasked with designing a habitat for the mission.

“If I had to pick a standout moment from the experience it would be at the end when we were presenting

our habitat,” said Cane. “My team came together to form a really cool mission. All of our different cultures and experiences positively impacted our problem-solving skills and allowed us to work together as a unit.”

Cane will begin his sophomore year at FAU High this week, continuing his involvement in The Cane Institute for Advanced Technologies. The Cane Institute serves as the epicenter for research, education and technology transfer for A.D. Henderson University School and FAU High School. The Institute’s integrated approach to solving society's toughest problems engages the best and brightest students, faculty and resources to explore today's most complex challenges in arenas such as cybersecurity, autonomous vehicles, robotics, virtual reality, augmented reality, automation and artificial intelligence.

The future is bright for Cane, who has a career interest in biomolecular engineering, with the ultimate goal of “helping people.”

Millennials, Think You’re Digitally Better Than Us? Yes, Says FAU Researchers

Emails, instant messaging, app notifications, RSS feeds, and a plethora of social networks inundate almost every aspect of daily life from work to home or just keeping in touch socially. Some people average more than four information technology (IT) switches per minute.

This barrage of IT interruptions makes it increasingly difficult to focus on the taskat-hand.

Legend has it that millennials, specifically the “Net Generation,” use many technologies simultaneously, masterfully switching from one to the next.

They claim that it’s easy and that they can do it much better than older generations.

Research, so far, hasn’t proven this claim and the consequences of these incessant interruptions on attention and performance.

Florida Atlantic University researchers in the Charles E. Schmidt College of Science are one of the first to examine this phenomenon in collegeage students. The study provides some of the first results on whether or not “Net Genners,” who have grown up with widespread access to technology, are developing greater digital literacy than generations before them, and if this has enriched them with an ability to switch their attention more efficiently.

For the study, researchers simulated a typical working environment, com-

plete with IT interruptions, to allow them to track the effects on participants’ inhibitory processes. One hundred and seventyseven mostly college-age participants were divided into three groups: those who received IT interruptions; those who did not, and a control group. Researchers compared the three groups’ accuracy and response time on completing tasks, gauging their level of anxiety.

Results, published in the journal Applied Neuropsychology: Adult , indicate that there is no need to “pardon these interruptions,” at least for this younger generation. Findings show that switching between technologies did not deplete or diminish performance in the group that had the IT interruptions compared to the control group or the group that did not receive IT interruptions. Unexpectedly, however, researchers discovered diminished performance in the participants from the group that did not receive any IT interruptions.

All three groups reported low levels of anxiety during the study. Seventy-five percent of two of the groups reported their anxiety as “not at all” or “a little bit,” and the researchers did not find any significant differences between groups.

“We were really surprised to find impaired performance in the group that did not receive any information technology interruptions.

It appears that the Net Generation thrives on switching their attention and they can do it more efficiently because information technology is woven throughout their daily lives,” said Mónica Rosselli, Ph.D., senior author, professor and assistant chair of psychology in FAU’s Charles E. Schmidt College of Science, and a member of the FAU Brain Institute (I-BRAIN), one of the University’s four research pillars. “Because younger generations are so accustomed to using instant messaging, pop-ups like the ones

www.bocaratontribune.com

we used for our study, may blend into the background and may not appear surprising or unplanned, and therefore may not produce anxiety.”

Prior research in the general population has found that it takes about 25 minutes to return to an original task following an IT interruption and 41 percent of these interruptions result in discontinuing the interrupted task altogether. Emails alone cause about 96 interruptions in an eight-hour day with an added one-and-a-half hours of recovery time per day.

Results of the new FAU study sheds light on younger generations who have commonly used instant messaging as a major communication tool and this communication preference may reveal a perception gap between generations.

“How we adapt to technology and leverage it to our advantage by deciding what information we attend to at any given moment has substantial implications on our ability to remain valuable and productive in our respective work and education domains,” said Deven M. Christopher, co-author and a graduate psychology student at FAU. “Results from our study may provide a basis for further research, especially because younger generations are developing in a more connected world than preceding generations.”

Miedema to lead District Board of College Rating Places PBA Among Trustees in 2019-2020 Best Christian Colleges

The Palm Beach State College District Board of Trustees has reorganized its leadership by electing a new chair and vice chair for the 2019-2020 academic year.

Trustee Barbara J. Miedema was elected to serve as chair, succeeding Trustee Carolyn L. Williams, and Trustee Wendy S. Link, Esq., was elected to serve as vice chair, a position previously held

by Trustee Miedema.

Williams remains on the five-member board appointed by the governor, as does Darcy J. Davis and Philip H. Ward, III, Esq. The action taken at the Aug. 13 board meeting held on the Lake Worth campus is part of an annual reorganization of the board.

Miedema, of Wellington, is the president of Terra-Rio Consulting LLC and former vice president of public affairs and communications at the Sugar Cane Growers Cooperative of Florida.

The Michigan native has more than 30 years of experience in the sugar industry.

“I’m excited to continue to serve the College with this opportunity to lead the District Board of Trustees as its chair for the upcoming academic year,”

Miedema said. “Palm Beach State College is truly dear to my heart, and I am extremely excited about the opportunity to help it expand and grow.”

Miedema is a graduate of the University of Florida’s Leadership for Agriculture and Natural Resources, Leadership Palm Beach County and Leadership Glades programs. She earned her bachelor’s degree from Michigan State University.

Link, the founder and former managing partner of Ackerman, Link & Sartory, went into solo practice at Wendy Sartory Link PLLC. She currently serves as Palm Beach County’s Supervisor of Elections.

“I’m proud to continue to serve the DBOT, the College and our community with this new assignment,” Link said. “Palm Beach State is poised to make even more contributions in education to this county in this academic year, and my role allows me to be PBSC’s biggest advocate.”

Link received her bachelor’s degree from the University of North Carolina and her law degree from Duke University School of Law.

Palm Beach Atlantic is ranked 50th among the Christian colleges comprising the recent release of ratings by the organization College Consensus.

College Consensus takes a different approach to college rankings, combining data from the most reputable college ranking publishers with credible student reviews posted online. The Consensus uses established rankings such as U.S. News & World Report, The Wall Street Journal, and WalletHub to create the Publisher Rating. The Student Review Rating combines stats from Cappex, Niche, Unigo and more. Together, they add up to the Consensus Rating, one number to represent a comprehensive, aggregate ranking.

www.bocaratontribune.com

For the purpose of their ranking, College Consensus evaluated Christ-centered schools as defined by the Council for Christian Colleges & Universities.

Read more about the College Consensus methodology on their About page.

“Palm Beach Atlantic is carrying forward its historic focus on traditional, American Christianity into its 51st year and beyond,” said President William M. B. Fleming, Jr. “Our theme this year is the Power of Prayer, which focuses on Jesus’ teaching the disciples how to pray in Matthew 6:9-13. Prayer unites us as a community and provides a tool to extend our caring to others around the world.”

SPORTS Boca Raton FC Announces IDP Program

Boca Raton Football Club is delighted to announce the creation of the Boca Raton FC Identification and Development Program (IDP).

The Boca Raton FC IDP will focus on following players through the early stages of their careers by being able to focus on building a strong foundation and creating a clear pathway from a young age to the Boca Raton FC first team. We want our IDP players to love their club and we want that this love will grow and help Boca Raton FC become a big, healthy family.

Different than rec soccer, IDP is a selective program designed specifically for the players born between 2010 and 2015 who are interested in being developed and prepared for the next level as they grow in the soccer career.

At the Boca Raton FC IDP, we meet the individual developmental needs of a player who desires a greater challenge outside of the rec soccer programs.

This unique developmental program will transition a child from being just another rec player to becoming

a select player.

Our goal is to create a different type of soccer model, one in which families, coaches, and players all have the same goal: Build great players and great citizens.

We will not just be another club with competitive leagues with a stressful and expensive agenda of tournaments that at the end only gives the winners a medal and a trophy. Our goal is to make our players get the big final prize of becoming a good person and player.

Our dream for the Boca Raton FC IDP is to see our players be awarded college scholarships, and/or professional contracts.

IDP players are guaranteed to receive age-appropriate instruction from licensed coaches during all training and game day sessions.

For more information on the Boca Raton FC IDP, please visit us online at www.bocaratonfc.com/youth.

Lynn University men’s golfer Giovanni Manzoni posted rounds of 7069 for a one-under 139 to make the cut at the Omega European Masters, held at the Crans-sur-Sierre Golf Club in Crans Montana, Switzerland. Manzoni is the only amateur to make the cut.

The sophomore out of Cremella, Italy, had a rough go to start the round, bogeying two of his first four holes only to birdie hole No. 7. A birdie on No. 12 moved him even and two birdies over his final five holes pushed him to one-under par on the day.

www.bocaratontribune.com

Manzoni is one of 76 golfers to advance, including Rory McElroy (-10), Sergio Garcia (-6), two-time defending champion Matthew Fitzpatrick (-2) and Lee Westwood (-1). Gavin Green is the overall leader at 11-under par.

The Second Team All-American is paired with Eduardo De La Riva and Joachim B. Hansen for an 8:19 a.m. local time tee time. TV coverage for the Omega European Masters begins at 6:30 a.m. on NBC Golf.

Jalon and the Owls started out the 2019 season on a strong note with a 1-0 shutout of No. 17 James Madison on Friday. Jalon wasn’t untested in the match, making five saves for the clean sheet. It was the redshirt senior’s third shutout of his career and his first against a ranked opponent.

Hagay’s Player of the Week nod is the first weekly award for FAU men’s soccer since the 2013 season, the first season for the Owls in C-USA.

FAU men’s soccer will face another strong test this week when No. 14 Louisville comes to town. The Owls and the Cards will face off on Friday at 7:30 p.m. at the FAU Soccer Stadium following the women’s match against Dartmouth.
