USA Rugby is proud to announce the 2011 Women's Collegiate All-Americans. These student-athletes are recognized as the best collegiate women's rugby players in the country. There are two lists of All-Americans, Division I and Division II. The Touring Squad will be named later this month and will compete in the Can-Am Games from July 28-31 in upstate New York.

The selection process to the Women's Collegiate All-Americans was a robust and collaborative effort. Selectors included Martha Daines (Women's Collegiate All-Americans Head Coach) as well as coaches from the age-grade to senior national team ranks.

Pete Steinberg (Women's National Team Head Coach), Ric Suggitt (Women's Sevens Team Head Coach), Bryn Chivers (Women's Under-20s Head Coach) and Alex Williams (Women's High Performance Director) contributed to the selections.

The list of Division I All-Americans includes 34 student-athletes from 17 different universities and colleges across the country. The 34 athletes on the DI list and 28 representatives on the DII list were selected from a pool of nearly 12,000 women’s collegiate rugby players.

Selectors used the fall and spring seasons to construct their player pools for All-American selection. The National All-Star Championship at Founders Field in Pittsburgh, Pa., last month and the DI and DII National Championships served as opportunities for selectors to refine the pool to the top players in each division.
 

• In addition to having the honor of being named an All-American, many of these student-athletes have earned invitations to a variety of national team assemblies:
• 20 student-athletes participated in a Women’s High Performance Collegiate Academy Camp in Pittsburgh, Pa. in June
• 9 are attending the Women’s Sevens Elite Camp at the Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista, Calif.
• 9 are competing for the USA in the 2011 Women’s U20 Nations Cup
• 1 player will compete with the Women’s National Team this August in the Senior Nations Cup
• 8 athletes on the list have represented the USA on the senior women’s sevens team
