Devin Keller, Kate Daley, Jenny Liu, Kim Magrini, Sadie Anderson
Congratulations and best of luck to the large Penn State contingent representing all of us, and our country this week!
When the US Women’s National Team takes the pitch tonight to face Canada in their second Nations Cup match, Head Coach Peter Steinberg will have several very familiar faces looking back at him in his customary prematch huddle. Former PSU women’s team assitant coach Farrah Douglas gets the start at prop, with former PSU players Devin Keller, Kate Daley, and Kim Magrini starting at hooker, #8, and scrumhalf, and current women’s team player Sadie Anderson, starting at flyhalf.
Fresh off possibly their best performance ever against England in a heart wrenching last minute loss just a few days ago, the future looks very bright for coach Steinberg and the US Women’s national team, and we are so proud of all of you!
On the men’s side, the US Men’s National Team (who will also be facing our neighbors from the north) will begin their final World Cup preparations in Canada tomorrow with former PSU men’s team player Mike Petri starting in his familiar #9 USA jersey.
With less than a month to go before the 2011 Men’s Rugby World Cup gets started in New Zealand, these final “tune-up” matches are of vital importance to the Eagles, and we are all very proud that Mike will again be there carrying the torch for so many of us!

GO USA!! WE ARE!!
