What other FEW members would be surprised to learn about me: Without Rugby I wouldn’t be where I am today. I played Rugby for SCSU and continued to play for a Women’s team after graduating, and was the women’s college coordinator for the MN Rugby Union for a number of years. Rugby is how I met a large number of my lifelong friends and my husband. It was also a Rugby friend who told me to join FEW and brought me as a guest to a meeting when I first moved back to the St. Cloud area.
