Get to Know Lisa

How did you get involved in rugby?
"I was early to my first class as a freshman in college and to kill time I read all these fliers that were posted. One of them said "do you want to hit people?" I thought yes, yes I do. So I went to an info meeting and then practice and fell in love with the sport. "

Other interests:
"Swimming, golfing, fishing, water/snow skiing."

If I had a million dollars I would ... "Buy my own dude ranch."

Favorite rugby memory:
