Top 10 Moments of 2015-16: #7 Women's Rugby members selected to Stars and Stripes Team

SALT LAKE CITY - Ninety-six young women arrived on the campus of the University of Utah Tuesday ahead of the USA Rugby All-American Stars and Stripes Camp.

Based on age, players will first be divided into Junior All-American (under-20) and Collegiate All-American (under-23) teams - Stars and Stripes - for matches Thursday, June 30, and Saturday, July 2. Coaches, including Dartmouth Head Coach Katie Dowty and Central Washington Head Coach Mel Denham, will scout athletes during the first match for potential reorganization of the teams for the second set of matches.

Following the Camp, an AIG Women's Collegiate All-Americans squad will be selected by Head Coach Sue Whitwell for two matches against Canada's Maple Leafs development side at Regional Athletic Complex. Both matches - Tuesday, July 5, and Saturday, July 9 - will serve as curtain raisers to the second and third match days of the Women's Rugby Super Series, featuring the Women's Eagles, Canada, England, and France. Whether invited to Camp as a Junior or Collegiate All-American representative, players may earn their place with the age-grade national team in the Stars and Stripes matches.

Along with Denham and Dowty, New York Rugby Club Head Coach James English and Denver Black Ice Head Coach Jon Mooney will lead the Collegiate and Junior sides, respectively, throughout the week. Assistant coaches Evi Ashenbrucker, Sharon Blaney, Bernie Cantorna, and Kelly Seary have all attended past national team assemblies as part of the Training and Education Pathway, and will work with Whitwell and AIG Women's Junior All-American Head Coach Wil Snape to improve the players' understanding of this level of play as well as their own coaching abilities.

Central Washington's Asinate Serevi was a member of the WJAA team that defeated Canada's under-20s twice last year, and was selected to the senior assembly at University of Utah this week. Several Wildcat teammates, as well as representatives from D1 Elite schools Brigham Young, Life, Lindenwood, Penn State, and Stanford, are in attendance at the Stars and Stripes Camp.

Selections for the WCAAs facing Canada's Maple Leafs will be announced at the culmination of Camp. The July 5 and 9 matches will be broadcast live on The Rugby Channel from Regional Athletic Complex.
