“This is a historic moment for high school girls’ rugby, and we are just happy to be a helping hand and supporter of the competition to host the event,” Lindenwood University head coach and tournament host Billy Nicholas commented. “The growth of the game at the youth level, to the point in which the split between single and club schools occurred, is a testament to the work that is being done at the high school level by local coaches and USA Youth Rugby and the increase in the number of competitive programs.”
The teams participating include many state champions that will be sure to provide the highest level of competition for single school teams to compete against.
