SPRINGFIELD, Mo. — Nine Drury women's rugby standouts have been selected as National Collegiate Rugby Scholastic All-Americans for the 2024-2025 season.

Senior Genesis Hudson and sophomores Lauren Thomlinson and Avery Whitlinger each earned their second Scholastic All-American honors for the Panthers, while Emmee Blair, Emily Holmes, Allyson Lam, Breanna Schapeler, Amber Shetter, and Abigail Stowe picked up their first All-American nods.

The NCR's annual program recognizes high performing student athletes across college rugby. To qualify as a Scholastic All American, student athletes must maintain a 3.5 grade-point average or higher for the entire academic year and be rostered for 50 percent of the Fall 15s A-side matches or rostered for 50 percent of the A-side Spring 7s tournaments. Representing roughly one in 20 college rugby players, this group reflects the academic dedication and athletic commitment that define collegiate rugby at its best.
