GLENDALE, Colo. – Six representatives from Harvard women's rugby, including two current student-athletes were named to the USA Women's XV National Team's World Cup Performance Squad. Junior Cassidy Bargell and senior Erica Jarrell, along with alumnae Jenny Kronish '19, Maya Learned '18 and Shelby Lin '14, will join assistant coach Sylvia Braaten, who is leading the strength and conditioning program.
 
The program will hold two 7-week training blocks at the RugbyTown National Training Center before departing for the World Cup in New Zealand at the beginning of August. The first training block runs from March 13 to May 2.
 
At the end of May, the squad will filter down to 40 players who will assemble for a final World Cup Residency from May 31 to July 21. The official World Cup team will be selected once Residency concludes.
