Why we love Mac:
Advocating for club sports level women's rugby teams and players in the Southeast and dedicated to finding them opportunities to play at higher levels
Willing and eager to help out administratively when there's gaps that arise and need to be filled
"As we all know, women's rugby doesn't get a lot of love at the collegiate level and it can be exceedingly difficult to run and operate teams with no budget and low support from their universities. I'm dedicated to finding ways to grow the sport at the club level in the Southeast and making sure that club athletes have opportunities to grow their game despite the odds. I love everything about this sport and it’s community and I want to make sure that it and its players continue to grow."
