USCG Academy Women's Rugby Club

A few weeks ago, Hollis, '20 and another Coastie represented the CG on the U.S. Armed Forces team that participated in the 3rd Annual International Military Rugby Sevens Challenge in Agen, France. The competition is sponsored by the International Military Sports Council, better known by its French acronym, CISM. The Women's Side competed against teams from France, Ireland, South Africa and Spain, finishing 2nd behind the home team. This was Hollis' second appearance in this competition, and she traveled more than halfway around the globe to get there from Activities Far East in Japan where she serves as the Inspections Chief. Congratulations to all!

Erin, ‘17 was also the Team President when CGA first advanced to the final four. 😊 🏉

Today the Ketchikan Area Arts and Humanities Council is over the moon excited to introduce ERIN REYNOLDS - our new PROGRAM DIRECTOR!!!! Erin will arrive mid-July after her 23 day cross-country voyage from Michigan. Erin's brief bio:

"I originally hail from Florida but most recently lived in the Detroit Metro Area before making my way to Ketchikan. I served in the U.S. Coast Guard in Puerto Rico as a Planning Specialist, a role that shaped my commitment to community and creative problem‑solving. I hold a Master of Fine Arts from Emerson College, where I deepened my storytelling practice and strengthened my belief in how art connects people and inspires action.

I’m a fiction writer and a gluttonous consumer of literature. I also run a small laser‑engraving business, creating meaningful, tangible pieces for others.

As the KAAHC Program Manager, I'm excited to develop programming that enriches the cultural life of Ketchikan and expands opportunities for local artists and organizations."

BZ Jazz and Anna (who is in her first season of rugby!)!

Our cadets were not the only Coasties to compete in a championship match this past weekend. A couple of our distinguished alumni, one older, one downright elderly, powered Mobile's Battleship to an emphatic 77-5 victory over the Ft Myers Lady Hammerheads at the Gulf Coast Super Regionals for D3 Clubs in Austin, TX. As this is currently the highest level that D3 Clubs can go, it was essentially a National Final.

For those who don't recognize them, that's Audra, '14, left, and Malia, '21. Audra is at ATC, just earned her IP rating, and will soon be the Deputy EO. Malia, a 3rd generation Coastie and 2nd gen rugger, is a couple of states over at CG Heartland (D8 for you old folks) where she plays for the Halfmoons.

Always great to see our alumni out on a pitch. BZ ladies!
