Rebecca Grubb-Venancio graduated from Marywood University in 2003 and was a two-year standout for the women’s soccer team after transferring in from Division I West Virginia University in 2001.  A 1999 graduate of Danville High School, Grubb-Venancio led the Pacers to a two-year mark of 27-11-1 (12-7 Pennsylvania Athletic Conference) and the women’s soccer program’s first ever post-season playoff berth (2001). 
 
A decorated forward and midfielder for the Pacers, Grubb-Venancio was named the 2002 PAC Player of the Year and was named First Team All-Conference in both seasons with the team (2001, 2002).  She was named to the PAC Academic Honor Roll in 2002 and was the team’s Most Valuable Player that season as well. 
 
Named the 2002-03 Senior Student-Athlete of the Year at Marywood, Grubb-Venancio still owns several school records despite playing only two years for the Pacers.  She currently ranks first all-time for single-season assists (18 in 2001) and assists in a career (30), while also being the record holder for most assists in a single game after registering five helpers in a game against Immaculata on November 2, 2002.
 
Grubb-Venancio also ranks second all-time in points for a single season (56, 2002), trailing only fellow Hall of Fame member Lindsay (Pappas) Pagniucci.  Grubb-Venancio also ranks second in the career records for women’s soccer with 36 career goals and third all-time with 102 career points.
 
Currently a Career Counselor for Pace University, Grubb-Venancio earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Art Therapy from Marywood in 2003 and went on to complete her Masters of Arts in Creative Arts Therapy (Counseling) from Hofstra University.  She currently resides in Hackensack, New Jersey.
