Akron Women’s Rugby vs. Pittsburgh Forge highlights

📸

Not one, not two, but THREE of our incredible players were rostered after selections for the Ohio Elite Select Side Team. This team is comprised of the best college and club athletes in Ohio- who come together at the end of the month to compete against other state select side teams.

Ashley (Fleck)- is our fearless fullback and also plays wing. She is tenacious on the pitch- no one stands a chance against her rucks or open field tackles- not to mention her speed which is completely unmatched.

Carlyn (Carl)- has played many positions for Akron, most notably prop, 8-man, and most recently, she jumped in the back line as one of our centers. She has a stiff arm whose reputation precedes her. She is knowledgeable and highly skilled on the pitch acting as one of our seasoned veterans and leaders.

Gracie- though still considered a “rookie” on our team, does not let that define her abilities. Gracie is a ruthless prop and 8-man for Akron, who out the gate proved to be an asset on our team. She is quick, has some mean footwork, and will tackle & ruck anything in front of her.

We are so immensely proud of these players.
Check them out in Chicago at the end of the month 🔥
