Elise is a senior from Minneapolis, Minnesota, is playing her fourth year of rugby this season. During her semester abroad in Ecuador, Elise desperately missed the sport and is very excited to be reunited with her team. Before entering the sport of rugby in college, Elise competed in track and field, soccer, and earned her third degree black belt in Karate. While starting off as a back, Elise was put into the flanker position her sophomore year and has loved being a forward ever since. This year Elise's main goals are to win every lineout, assist or score a try every game, and finally learn her teammates real names instead of just their nick names.
