By Oyediji Oluwaseun Babatunde

Nigeria forward, Jennifer Echegini has graduated from Florida State University (FSU) after an outstanding season for the women’s soccer team this week.

That capped up a superb year for the Nigeria international, who was also part of the the Super Falcons squad that reached the Round of 16 of the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand.

FSU became the fourth team in the 21st century to achieve the unthinkable as they dominated the field, scoring 75 goals while conceding only 14, and swept all available trophies, solidifying their place as champions.

Echegini was the driving force behind this success, leading the Seminoles in goals (16) and tied for points (37), proving her offensive prowess throughout the season.

In the championship final against Stanford, Echegini didn’t just score, she orchestrated a 5-1 demolition, contributing a goal and an assist.

She earned a well-deserved spot on the prestigious TopDrawerSoccer Post-Season Best XI Team, a testament to her consistent excellence.

She was also ranked 4th in the Top 100 players of the 2023 season, further solidifying her place among the elite.

Onyi Echegini’s story is one of dedication, resilience, and pure talent. She has etched her name in Florida State and women’s soccer history.

After a graduation last week, her next target is her switch to top Italian Serie A side, Juventus.

Juventus recently agreed to sign the player after her studies in the United States of America (USA).

With her wonderful form, she is sure to join Nigeria’s array of stars in Europe representing the country in the best leagues in Europe including the UEFA Women’s Champions League (UWCL).
