YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) — Before kicking off its tour of the United States, Italy's AS Roma, a Serie A soccer club trained at Eastern Michigan University's Scicluna Field over a three-day span, July 16-19, in preparation of a midweek match against Paris Saint-Germain at Comerica Park. AS Roma's visit to Scicluna Field marks the second time in the past three years the Eagles' pitch has been a training site for a professional team, having previously hosted Real Madrid in the summer of 2014.

A collective effort from the EMU women's soccer coaching staff and players, as well as EMU's facility, equipment, and media relations staff, allowed Eastern to host a total of six public training sessions on the Eagles' home pitch.
