New Jersey City University Athletics

A four-time All-New Jersey Athletic Conference selection at forward, Albuja was a two-time First-Team All-NJAC selection—taking home First-Team honors as a freshman in 2007 and again as a senior in 2011. Albuja was the 2007 New Jersey Athletic Conference Rookie of the Year. She was the first NJCU women’s soccer player ever to earn All-NJAC laurels four times. Albuja graduated as and remains NJCU’s all-time leading scorer with 87 career goals and 194 points, along with 20 assists in 79 games. She netted 16 career game-winning goals. Albuja helped lead NJCU to back-to-back NJAC Tournament appearances in 2010 and 2011—the only two NJAC playoff appearances in program history. She also helped spark NJCU to reach the 2010 and 2011 ECAC Quarterfinals.
 
Albuja and Caseres are the second and third women’s soccer players elected to the Hall of Fame, joining former coach Katie Feehan who was enshrined in 2017. After missing the 2009 season, Albuja returned in 2010 and teamed with Julia Caseres to form The 'A-C Connection'. They finished their careers as the all-time leading goal scoring combination in Division III history with 191 goals and second in total points (445, one shy of record). They were prominently featured in an NJ.com story on September 27, 2011. She played defense one season.
 
“It is an absolute honor and privilege to be inducted with all the greatest athletes and coaches from NJCU,” said Albuja, currently a New Jersey State Trooper. “I gave 110 percent for my team and coaches at every game like anyone else. As much as I would love to go back in time and play again, it all comes to an end. I am not one to care if I was recognized for what I’ve accomplished  but I am happy to know that it was. I am thrilled to be in in the Hall of Fame alongside with my good friend and fellow state trooper Katie Feehan, and am honored to share this special day with Julia Caseres’ friends and family as we remember the other half of the A-C Connection.”
 
Former head coach Rob Bielan `95 said: “I couldn’t be happier about Jen and Julia getting into the Hall of Fame. Having two teammates who are daughters to me joining Katie Feehan and being honored and inducted like this into the Hall of Fame is enough to make any father smile! They were the pillars of our foundation and they are everything that is great about women’s soccer—their competitiveness, sportsmanship, heart and general love of the game showed every time they graced the field. Some coaches are lucky to get a single player of their quality; I was blessed to have both at the same time.”
