Women’s Collegiate All-American XVs Head Coach Katie Dowty selected her match day 26 player roster to face the WPL East All Stars on August 1 at 5 PM MT at the University of Northern Colorado in Greeley.
The match is part of a day one Women’s All Star Week doubleheader with the WPL West and D1/D2 All Stars facing each other at 3 PM MT, which will be followed by the All-American game. Losers from Day One will face off at 9:30 AM MT on Day Two, followed by winners from Day One at 11:30 AM MT. All matches are streamed LIVE on facebook.com/wplrugby with attendance free to all fans.
“For years, the Women’s Collegiate All-American program has been an honor for selected athletes and an important stepping stone to the senior national team in XVs and 7s. The All-Americans rely on monetary support from the community to reduce or even completely cover assembly costs for players. To make a contribution to the program, please contact Chris Reed at creed@usarugby.org.”
