Rutgers-Camden Athletics

Senior Gianna Patitucci has been one of the top backs in the New Jersey Athletic Conference ever since she transferred to Rutgers-Camden following her freshman season at West Virginia Wesleyan College. Last week she continued her outstanding defensive play while also adding her first career game-winning goal in a 1-0 victory over Kean University on Saturday. That win, coupled with a 2-1 victory over William Paterson University on Wednesday, helped the Scarlet Raptors secure a berth in the upcoming NJAC playoffs. In her 52 career games at Rutgers-Camden, Patitucci has produced two goals and two assists, while helping the Scarlet Raptors post 21 shutouts, including eight this season. One of the team’s four captains during both the 2024 and 2025 season, Patitucci earned NJAC Second Team recognition last season after earning NJAC Honorable Mention during her first season at Rutgers-Camden. A Dean’s List student as well, the Health Sciences major captured NJAC Academic Honorable Mention for the 2024-25 scholastic year and has been a member of the Rutgers-Camden Athletic Director’s Honor Roll during all four of her full semesters on campus.
