The USA Rugby DII College Fall Championship was a fantastic ending to 2017, and a densely talented all-tournament team evolved. The Rugby Breakdown noted a handful of impressive players across the four teams and then sought out recommendations from those who were present at the fall championship.
Winona State and Vassar College sent six players apiece to the all-championship team, including our MVP, Emily Becker from Winona State. Coast Guard and Cincinnati have four players apiece on the list.
