GRR: Pittsburgh RCT
There was a lot of action at the Mid-Atlantic Regional Cup Tournament (RCT) – the largest girls all-star tournament in the circuit with eight teams – but a few players managed to put some distance between themselves and the rest of the field.
Last year, Virginia won the Pittsburgh Challenge Cup (aka Mid-Atlantic Regional Cup Tournament) over Empire City 6-0, and that two-penalty-goal loss is not something the New Jersey/New York City-based team wants to repeat. All-star head coach Tom Feury has assembled a star-studded coaching staff and pooled some good talent for a run at the trophy this weekend.
West Chester University’s Tony DeRemer is shifting gears, transitioning from his DI varsity women’s team for the time being to work with Rugby Pennsylvania’s Girls All-Star team. The select side will represent the state at this weekend’s Mid-Atlantic Regional Cup Tournament, one of seven occurring during the next two weekends around the country.
The Mid-Atlantic Regional Cup Tournament (RCT) in Pittsburgh is hosting eight girls all-star teams – easily the largest girls' field of any RCT in the country. Some of that has to do with its location, as Founders Field is driving distance for many East Coast and Midwest teams.
