LIU just recently hired Joseph Rasmus as their new Head Coach. Rasmus was previously the Men's Head Coach at the University of Illinois and the Head Coach of the Chicago North Shore WPL team.
"I'm really excited to be working with a motivated group of athletes," Rasmus said before the initial workout. "In rugby, you're always dealing with a wide range of motivations that they're trying to get out of the game. I really felt like here, in the context of the NCAA, I was going to find student-athletes who are aligned.
"I'm really making sure we have a strong platform before our game against Harvard. We're making sure we build really good foundations. Technically, I think we have a lot of work to do before we're going to do anything too adventurous or crazy tactically. I think another big part of it is getting the women to recognize and own what their points of difference are — what makes them better than other individuals in the NCAA and be able to express that on the field."
