Sydney Drinkwater and her designated No. 27 goalie jersey have become a mainstay inside of the 24-foot-by-8-foot cage better known as Florida Atlantic’s home field soccer nets.
Since transferring from the University of South Florida, the redshirt senior has played every second of all 43 games from the start of the 2014 season up until her red card earlier this season against Jacksonville University.
While Jacksonville marked the first time Drinkwater didn’t start a game at FAU, where she played 3,866 minutes in her first two seasons, the sidelines aren’t necessarily uncharted waters for the left-footed goalie.
