Lucia Di Guglielmo wanted to try something different. Playing her entire career in Italy, including the past five years with Serie A club AS Roma, the Italian defender knew it was time to push the limits of her career. What better way to do that than coming to the United States?
“I’d been at Roma for many years, and I felt at home in Rome, but I wanted to get out of my comfort zone, and I don’t think there is anything better than coming to the U.S.,” Di Guglielmo says. “When I realized the Spirit was interested in me, I was like, ‘wow, you can’t say no.’”
