JCU Women’s Soccer 5vs5 Team competes in the Universities of Rome Championship, which started in 2006. In 2014/2015, our Lady Gladiators won the Tournament and became the first American university to ever win it. In 2016/2017, JCU replicated the incredible feat by winning the title again for the second year. In 2017/2018, our ladies had to drop the Title in favor of the University of Foro Italico who won the Tournament, where JCU still earned a respectable second place.

In 2018, our goalkeeper Maria Vittoria Albezzano received the Best Goalkeeper Award for the Season. The same year, Maria Martynovych was awarded Most Valuable Player and Top Scorer.

Our ladies definitely stood out during the tournament and brought home an amazing 2nd place.
