At least three rosters will be generated following the largest athlete assembly in USA Rugby history. The Women’s Eagles, AIG Women's Collegiate All Americans, and AIG Women's Junior All Americans will draw from the pool that attended the NASC at James Madison University.

With the Super Series taking place in two weeks’ time, Women’s Eagles Head Coach Pete Steinberg announced the players chosen to face off against Canada, England, and New Zealand in Alberta, Canada.

“The standard of play was very strong throughout and if we can get more games like that for our players it will help us compete internationally.” Steinberg said.

RugbyPA were strongly represented, with former All State and High School Club players Hope Rogers (Chambersburg), Ellie Cantorna & Gabriella Cantorna (both State College), Carly Waters, Joie Krahling, Elizabeth Cairns, Lizzy Goff & Adriena Zeiders (all Downingtown), Lauren Shissler (West Shore United) and Nicole Benedetti (Hibernians) all included in the high performance player pool.

RugbyPA were also represented at a coaching level with State College's Bernie Cantorna, Head Coach of an AIG Women's All American side and RugbyPA's James English as Head Coach of one of the Women's Senior Sides.

Local players Deven Owsiany (who worked with RugbyPA's HS Girls Player Workshops last Spring) and Hope Rogers (who will be assisting with the RugbyPA All State Girls Team) were both selected to travel to Canada with the Women's National Team.
