USA Rugby named the following players to the Collegiate All American Team.
The team was selected from players who represented their territory at the
annual Collegiate Territorial Championships. The All Americans
participated in a week long camp at Ohio State University in Columbus,
Ohio. The All Americans will face the USA Combined Services (military)
team on Friday, June 14 and again on Saturday, June 15 at Ohio State
University.
Following the match on Saturday, the Collegiate All American staff will
announce the winner of the Albert Woodley Award to the most outstanding
collegiate rugby player in the USA. The Woodley Award, rugby's version of
the Heisman Trophy, is named for Albert Woodley, a founder of the New York
Rugby Club, the oldest club in the USA. The New York Rugby Club presents
the award yearly to the player selected by the Collegiate All American
coaching staff and the collegiate coaches. Balloting is handled by Dr.
Dale Toohey, Collegiate All Americans Head Coach. Previous Woodley Award
