Martyrs Win Clericus Cup!

The Pontifical North American College Martyrs soccer team won the championship match of the annual Clericus Cup tournament on May 12. They defeated the reigning champions of the Pontifical Gregorian University 3-0.

Seminarian John Gibson ‘14 (Milwaukee) put the Martyrs ahead early with two goals in the first half, and New Man Scott Gratton ‘15 (Burlington) punched in a third goal in the second half to ensure the trophy. Lewi Barakat ‘15 (Sydney) set up the assist for all three goals.  Check out the pictures here!
The Martyrs’ super-fans were out in full force, cheering their team on to their first championship victory since the founding of the league in 2007. The tournament is organized by the Centro Sportivo Italiano, and fields teams from 16 of the local Roman College seminaries.

Congratulations to the Team!  Go Martyrs!
