He has been a reliable starter for two years, contributing five goals and three assists this season. Tay's academic achievements are equally impressive, maintaining a 3.91 GPA, appearing on the Dean's List five times, and being honored as an NWAC academic Allstar. His commitment to academic and athletic excellence has earned him a spot at Eastern Oregon University, where he will continue his soccer career.
