Fans Can Help Nominate A Player For the Sorensen Award
The MA Sorensen Award is given by the Washington Athletic Club of Seattle every year to the best Women's College rugby player in the USA.
Goff Rugby Report Editor Alex Goff works with the WAC to select the winner, which is chosen through a combination of votes by the rugby public, college rugby teams, and a selection panel.
This form is one chance for you, the rugby public, to get involved. Nominate a player you think is the best in the country. If he played most of his rugby in the fall, that's OK. If he played most of his rugby in the spring, that's fine, too.
The MA Sorensen Award is named after trailblazing and World Cup-winning USA prop Maryann Sorensen, who played rugby at William & Mary (helping start the team) and with Philadelphia Women's Rugby, a club she captained for ten seasons. She started at prop forward for the Eagles when they won the Women's Rugby World Cup in 1991, and also has enjoyed a long and successful career in medicine as a well-respected anesthesiologist.
