USA Rugby has announced its selection of Women Collegiate All Americans for the 2015-16 season.

The players were selected through coach nominations and scouting reports from national age-grade coaches, including Women's Collegiate All-American Head Coach Sue Whitwell, Women's Eagles Player Development Manager Martha Daines, and others. 

Most of these players will assemble June 28 - July 2 for the Stars and Stripes Camp. From that, a team will be selected to face the Canada U23s July 5 and July 9.
