Coach Kim Kim Eluteri Bio-
"Didn't play college rugby, but helped to start the Harrisburg Women's team in 2001, with the help of Lee Tarasi and Sherri Magnuson. I played tight head prop in the 2.5 years that I played, and opted to coach due to age and time constraints (schooling for Nurse Practitioner)."

"Started playing rugby in 1993 when the local women's club was called Capitol Area Women's Rugby Club. Played 2nd row. Blew out my knee and stopped for awhile. Assisted in starting the Birmingham Vulcan's Women's Rugby Club in Birmingham AL back in 2000. Then started and was president for Harrisburg Women's RFC in 2001 till we merged with the men roughly in 2003. Have played numerous positions to include: 2nd row, inside center, outside center, fullback, and my favorite.....flanker. Personally, I am a police officer for Susquehanna Twp, and live in Lower Paxton Twp with my two Labrador retrievers."

Britney Marsh Because ... I play rugby because I love it. It is my life and my teammates are not only amazing players but amazing friends. Rugby is the only game where on the pitch your attitude is to win and hit as hard as possible but then off the pitch both teams get together and talk like nothing ever happened. Rugby has laws, which build respect between all of the teams making the sport mean so much more than all the others. I play rugby because it is just right!
