The senior is a four-time All-American, four-time All-Big Ten honoree, two-time Big Ten Offensive Player of the Year, Big Ten Player of the Year, and the reigning 2022-23 Penn State Female Athlete of the Year.
With 158 career points off 74 goals and 10 assists, Gladieux is set to join the USWNT in Charlotte, North Carolina, ahead of final Olympic team selections in mid-June. The final roster will feature 16 players and three interim players.
