Congratulations go out to former Team Boca defender Nyela Calnek, who played all 90 minutes in Baylor’s 4-1 upset of No. 10 Arkansas on Tuesday night at Razorback Field in Fayetteville, Arkansas.

Nyela, a senior defender who played high school soccer at American Heritage-Delray, previously played at Vanderbilt. She helped lead Team Boca’s 2004 team to the 2022 US Youth Soccer National Championships and was named to the US Youth Soccer Nationals Girls Best XI for her performance.Despite being picked seventh in the Big 12 Preseason Poll, Baylor handed Arkansas, which was picked second in the SEC Preseason Poll, its worst home loss since 2011.“Beating Arkansas was a great result for us,” Calnek said. “We trusted the work we’ve put in every day and executed our game plan. A lot of credit goes to our coaching staff for preparing us throughout the week and putting us in a position to succeed. It was an incredible environment to play in, and wins like this reflect the commitment, sacrifice and work everyone in the program puts in every day. This team has high standards, and last night was another important step forward.”@lensdirect @sabrsoccerboca @sabr.adult.soccer @topsoccerboca @fysasoccer @usclubsoccer @usyouthsoccer @usyouthsoccerodp @nationalleaguesoccer @cityofbocaraton @palmbeachcountyfl @rincon4339 @aturpel @bdaddio @instaelstar @soccerstoreboca @daniel_m._cavalcanti @flclubleagues @nationalpremierleagues @ecnlgirls @Theomaverick3 @powerplayphoto @nxtlvlrecruits @theecnl @citybocaraton @palmbeachcountyfl @national1league @gotsportofficial ...

The Florida Atlantic women’s soccer team and FIU played to a 1-1 draw in each team’s season opener Wednesday night at Howard Schnellenberger Field at Flagler Credit Union Stadium. With the tie, the Owls (0-0-1) are now 8-2-2 against the Panthers since 2015.

It was Team Boca Night, and fittingly, former Team Boca standout and FAU freshman forward Maiya Castillo put the Owls ahead in the 75th minute, scoring on a breakaway.FIU (0-0-1) responded just five minutes later when Yuzu Tanida headed home the equalizer. FAU had a chance to regain the lead in the 86th minute, but FIU goalkeeper Valery Restrepo came up with a big save to preserve the draw.The announced crowd of 1,017 included Team Boca players, parents, coaches and staff, who came out to support the Owls and celebrate Team Boca Night. In addition to Castillo, FAU features five Team Boca products: junior Ashley Small and freshmen Lola Hathorne, Sophia Foderaro, Sephora Joachim and Castillo.Halftime entertainment featured players from Team Boca’s U8, U9 and U10 academy teams, who took the field for a game of Red Light, Green Light.“It was a fantastic crowd,” said FAU coach Patrick Baker following the game. “Thank you to our fans and thank you to Team Boca, all the parents, all the families and players who came to support us tonight. They saw two good teams from South Florida play. Now we have to recover and regroup for a good University of Miami team on Sunday.”#TeamBoca #FAUWSoccer #CollegeSoccer #TeamBocaNight@lensdirect @sabrsoccerboca @sabr.adult.soccer @topsoccerboca @fysasoccer @usclubsoccer @usyouthsoccer @usyouthsoccerodp @nationalleaguesoccer @cityofbocaraton @palmbeachcountyfl @rincon4339 @aturpel @bdaddio @instaelstar @soccerstoreboca @daniel_m._cavalcanti @flclubleagues @nationalpremierleagues @ecnlgirls @Theomaverick3 @powerplayphoto @nxtlvlrecruits @theecnl @citybocaraton @palmbeachcountyfl @national1league @gotsportofficial @FAUwsoccer ...
