All-Time Americans: Kathy Flores
Since Kathy Flores has been a coach for so long, winning regular national championships with the Berkeley All Blues, coaching the USA Women's National Team for ten years, and now coaching at Brown, it's easy to forget she was a player.
All-Time American List: Christy Ringgenberg
An All American at Minnesota, Christy Ringgenberg made her reputation as a player who hit harder than her relatively slight frame would make you predict.
All-Time American List: Mike Hercus
Born in Virginia but trained in Australia, Mike Hercus returned to the United States with an eye toward making the USA team, and not only did he accomplish that fete, he obliterated records.
All-Time American List: Tara Flanagan
Tara Flanagan's poise and good nature off the field, something that has stood her in good stead during an impressive career as a lawyer and a judge, belies her aggression and power on the field.
As a lock forward for the USA she was a huge part of the 1991 World Cup winners, earning a tournament MVP nod and the 1994 World Cup runners up.
All-Time American List: Diane Schnapp
From about 1990 through 1998 the USA women’s 15s team was one of the three best teams in the world, rising to the top of that heap and staying near it for close to a decade.
To reach such heights you need plenty of mountain climbers, and perhaps the strongest and most dogged of them all was Diane Schnapp.
