Women All Americans Picked to Face Ontario
USA Rugby'a Women Collegiate All-Americans have named their squad to face the Ontario Storm Friday night at the University of Toronto, Scarbarough rugby pitch.
Head coach Martha Daines brings an experience side on the 2014 Canada tour. The WCAA team features several returning players including fullback and captain Erin Overcash, second row Bailey Johnson and front row Baylee Annis. Plus a batch of new comers like Nicole Benedetti and Megan Foster to round out a solid touring side to face the Canadians.
