ROME, Italy – The Toledo women's basketball team had the opportunity to visit a couple historic sites in Rome on Sunday during its eighth day in Italy.
The Rockets had the option to attend Mass at St. Peter's Basilica in the morning before taking part in a guided tour of Italy's capital city in the late afternoon.
A handful of Toledo players and staff attended the 75-minute Mass at 10:30 a.m. (CEST) and had the privilege to hear Pope Francis speak to the congregation of at least 2,000 people.
"This morning's Mass was a powerful way to start the day," Head Coach Tricia Cullop said.
