The NZU Blue is one of New Zealand’s most prestigious and long-standing awards that recognises a University student’s performance in representing New Zealand at the annual pinnacle event of their sport whilst successfully progressing their academic studies.
Until 2007, only four New Zealand women's soccer players had received a University Blue. But the current uprising of the women's game in NZ has seen a further four players recognised for their off-field prowess, as well as that they regularly display on it.
And in both 2007 and 2008, Unitec saw fit to recognise the academic and athletic achievements of one of our young champions.
