2013-2014 USA Rugby Women’s Collegiate All-Americans

The Women’s Collegiate All-Americans for the 2013-14 season have been selected by USA Rugby. 42 women were selected for the first team and 52 women have been selected for the second team.

“The final selections for the All-American list were difficult decisions, as there are many players deserving recognition for their continuation on and off the field this season,” said Daines. “Players in the college game are more skilled than ever, and I’m sure we overlooked some outstanding players. My staff and I would like to thank the nominators for taking the time to identify players for the honor.”

The impressive list of student-athletes represent a diverse range of universities both large and small, while Norwich University and Penn State University, winners of this year’s USA Rugby College 7s National Championship and XVs National Championship, respectively, combine for nine selections.

Eleven players from the 2012-13 list have once again earned All-American honors, including capped Women’s Eagles Meya Bizer and Hope Rogers of Penn State, as well as Jess Davis of American International College.

Each member of the 2013-14 Women’s Collegiate All-Americans will receive a certificate commemorating their achievement as student-athletes.
