Sorensen Award News
Fans and college team players and coaches can help nominate a player for the MA Sorensen Award.
Presented every year by the Washington Athletic Club, the MA Sorensen Award is named after groundbreaking rugby player and doctor MaryAnn Sorensen and has been presented to the top women collegiate rugby player in the USA every year since 2016.
When she runs onto the first Friday Hope Rogers will earn her 50th cap.
The 2016 MA Sorensen Award-winner has been an Eagle for 11 years, but injuries have lurked, forcing her off the team on occasion. Still, one of the best props in women’s rugby anywhere, has made it to 50.
The Washington Athletic Club hosts the WAC Rugby Awards Saturday in Seattle, with Freda Tafuna and Wyatt Parry receiving, respectively, the MA Sorensen and Rudy Scholz Awards in person.
Standing alone atop women’s college rugby, Freda Tafuna knows she’s not alone. In fact, playing this ultimate of team sports has always been a team game for Tafuna, on and off the field.
Freda Tafuna of Lindenwood has been named the 2024 winner of the MA Sorensen Award as the top female collegiate rugby player in the United States.
