This past semester my team and I won our 2nd undefeated DII Championship in Ursinus, a shut out against Shippensburg. For our next fall season I have been voted the pack captain among fellow teammates at line and team captains. More recently, we sent our interested and promising ruggers to EPRU All Star try-outs. Out of 10 we sent, 5 made the team, along with myself. We played in the MARFU tournament along with PRU and VRU, these games allow those players a chance to try-out and advance into the MARFU team, as well as play high-level rugby among better competent players.

    Don't think I have forgotten some of those scrappy moves I've learned from Murph or not been thankful for all that running during the 7s tourney we did! I am currently the loose-head prop (yeah, I'm a small prop) but have a history of never playing the same position too long. My major as of now is Secondary Education with an undecided concentration, though thinking of a possible change.

    I am so excited for the Turkey Bowl, I've asked some of my teammates that live by and have played with Doylestown Girls, to stop buy, play and just support the growth of Rugby in America. Can't wait to ruck and rumble!!
