The daughter of former longtime New England Revolution goalkeeper Brad Knighton tragically died in a boating accident in South Carolina on Wednesday, family and officials confirmed. Olivia Knighton was killed in a boating accident on the Intracoastal Waterway in Little River after the 23-foot boat she was on was “rocked by a large wake,” which was caused by another passing boat, the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources said Thursday. Knighton, who retired from Major League Soccer earlier this year, confirmed his daughter’s passing with a statement posted to social media. “Our family is still in shock at the sudden and tragic loss of our beautiful and brilliant daughter, Olivia, to an unfortunate boating accident yesterday. With Knighton between the posts, New England was also awarded the Supporters’ Shield in 2021 for having the best regular season record.
