Shannon KeoughJunior education major and goal keeper Gianna Porretta has been playing soccer since the age of five. Porretta loves the sport and has excelled in every aspect.
Growing up in New Jersey, Porretta started all four years in high school and holds her school’s record for most career shut outs. She was named Cape Atlantic Fall All-Star, Athlete of the Month for Girls Soccer and received the Girls Soccer Coaches Award for both years in 2005 and 2006.
In her last year of high school Porretta came across Cabrini and realized that it was the perfect fit for her.
“I always knew that I wanted to play soccer in college and after visiting different schools, Cabrini was the school that I liked the best and I knew that I wanted to play for them,” Porretta said.
In addition to being a great individual player, Porretta constantly thinks of her team and puts their needs in front of her own.
“Gianna is one of the hardest working goalies I have ever coached.
