Hall-of-Famer Launches Clothing Line With A Message, And A Mission
US and World Rugby Hall-of-Famer Phaidra Knight is launching a new clothing line, partnering with accomplished athletes of a variety of sports and using the business to also support women’s athletics.
Knight’s new clothing line is called PSK Collective, and launched this month. The former USA 15s and 7s star partnered with Zahra Bahari of The Powells Companies LLC to launch it all, and brought in a group of athlete ambassadors to promote the line, including USA Women’s 7s star Naya Tapper.
“Of course I had to have another rugby player in there,” Knight told Goff Rugby Report.
But there are others, too:
Eagle Pool for Women's World Cup
USA Women's National 15s Head Coach Pete Steinberg has named his player pool for the 2017 Women's Rugby World Cup.
Steinberg beings back some experienced heads into the squad, notable Phaidra Knight, who made her Eaqle debut in 2000, and Kristin Zdanczewicz, who has played in multiple World Cups. In addition, Steinberg has named a large chunk of the women's 7s program - not a surprise given that Steinberg said in 2016 that many of those players would be in serious consideration for the Eagle 15s backline.
Also of note, the 2015-16 Sorensen Award Winner as the top college player, Hope Rogers, is in the list, as is former USA 7s captain Kelly Griffin.
Steinberg will be able to work with this team for two spring test matches, but, he added, the squad is always swimming against the tide when it comes to international experience.
