Former St. Thomas Eagles Andres Diaz, Conor Mills, and Paul Rogers were named to the U20 USA National team (Junior All-Americans) and played in the US Collegiate All-Star tournament held in Denver this June. The All-Americans played against the Mid-Atlantic Collegiate All-Stars and New England All-Stars during the tournament, in which the went 1-1. A thrill for STH fans occured when Mills matched up at flyhalf against former teammate Alex Reeves (Worcester Polytechnic Institute), who was playing for the New England side. The U20s finished their assembly against the University of Cardiff (Wales - last year's runner-up in Great Britain's collegiate championships). Diaz and Mills are teammates at Texas A&M University and Paul Rogers plays for Louisiana State University. "This is very exciting for STH rugby," said STH head coach Jim Wolfinger, "to have so many former players playing at such a high level is a thrill and testament to the hard work they put in while on campus." "We could not be more proud of our guys and wish them continued success."
