Kyla Chipman was one of 12 Women’s Junior All Americans (WJAAs) who competed at the previous two Can-Am games. The Penn State junior, however, captained the team both years (vice captain in 2014) and has a rounder take on the most recent assembly and the successes achieved therein.

Sorry the contest deadline is past. Go Eagles.
We at Goff Rugby Report World Headquarters have a few observations about the USA Men’s National Team as they head into the final stretch of the pre-World Cup matches.
Any victory over Canada is a good one for the Eagles, but now they have notched three in a row, something they’ve never done before. The USA also set records for points scored and margin of victory over Canada.
After enjoying a healthy lead over Canada for much of the game, the USA Men’s National Team found themselves up only 20-16.
Canada, by virtue of a try from Nick Blevins, had pulled within a try. USA scrumhalf Mike Petri, who had lost his fitting trying to tackle Blevins, said captain Chris Wyles rallied the team.
The Eagles fell behind early as Canada tried to push the pace of the game and work it wide.
The USA defense held, thanks in part to a huge hit from Cam Dolan, but Canada did get a penalty and a 3p-0 lead.
