GRR: Can-Am Series
The Women's Junior All Americans (WJAAs) had something to prove today against the Canada U20s, looking to break the recent trend of losses to their northern neighbors. After taking a 19-5 lead in the first quarter, it appeared the hosts were well on their way, but Canada just needed some time to adjust and fought its way to a two-point deficit.
2015 was supposed to be a Women’s U20 Nations Cup year, but the competition wasn’t renewed, so the USA and Canada looked across the border for another Can-Am Series.
PRESS RELEASE (Ellensburg, Wash.) – USA Rugby AIG Women’s Junior All-American interim Head Coach Wil Snape has selected the starting XV for Wednesday’s match against Canada, the first of two in the Under-20 Can-Am Series powered by ATAVUS at Central Washington University.
BOULDER, Colo. – Interim Head Coach Wil Snape has selected the touring squad for the USA Rugby AIG Women’s Junior All-Americans’ two-match series against Canada this month.

Interim head coach Wil Snape and staff have the Can-Am series for which to prepare, and the team will reassemble on August 15 at Central Washington University for matches against Canada U20s on Aug. 19 and 22.
