Huge Congratulations to our Captain on completing orientation for FAMU School of Law. Erykah graduated Magna cm laude with a degree in Criminal Justice and minor in Psych. You are such a commited player, teammate, friend and person. Thank you for your leadership on the pitch and for ALWAYS SHOWING UP. You were there when you were tired, stressed, and sick. That means the world to a team. No excuses for anything. Erykah is the type of player you have to drag off the field even if she's injured.

Key Qualities/ Characteristics:
- Consistent
- SHE RUNS THROUGH PEOPLE
- Awesome to scrum with, but awful to scrum against 💪🏾
- Works on skills outside of her comfort zone

Cool facts about Her: She's from St. Augustine. Made dean's list every semester throughout college. She was a student assistant at FIU and won the Student Employee of the year award for 2019 (out of every single student employee at FIU). She was the president of the Unicef club and was a peer mentor for freshman. P.S IF YOU ARE A FOODIE, she is an awesome pal to try new food with and is always down for noms, especially after rugby. In everyday life, her ability to remain cool and collected in stressful situations is otherworldly and deserves mentioning. So proud of you and everything you've accomplished! Lucky to have been on a team with you and W’ell miss you on the pitch but be ready for an apartment raid sometime this next school year. Keep the grind up on your first week of Law school ❤️ Lots of love for you!

Congratulations to our former captain for graduating summa cm laude from the Honors college at FIU! Thank you for your dedication to the team and for keeping this program going. You make the players around you better. Your leadership, drive, sassiness and fearlessness is an example to us all. It has truly been an honor playing along your side and we can’t wait to see you kickbutt in life!

Key qualities as a player and teammate:
-Cool calm and collected with ball in hand
- Aggressive
- Quick decision maker
- Stern
-ALWAYS running support lines if she doesn't have the ball
-Reliable on and off the pitch
-She will run, catch up and tackle you if you break our defensive line (cheetah girl).

Some cool facts about Selena: She has a degree in Political Science and has accepted a Position as an Admissions Coordinator for the George Washington University School of Law (In D.C). She single-handedly raised $10,000 for charity. She recovered from ACL/ Patella surgery and came back to play rugby. She has lived in Abu Dhabi, Bucharest, Jakarta, Amman, New Delhi and Madagascar. Also someone told me she makes “Crazy good Lasagna.” LOVE YOU AND ALREADY MISS YOU. COME VISIT. ❤️
