Each week the Tri State Conference will honor a men’s and women’s standout performer with the Rugby Imports Players of the Week. Rugby Imports is the number one sponsor of the Tri State Conference and is the one stop shop for all authentic rugby gear, apparel and teamwear.

Men’s Rugby Imports Player of the Week

Player: Kenny Anderson/Josh Jones
School: William Paterson
Position: Flyhalf/Outside Center
Class: Senior/Senior

This week’s Men’s award is split among a pair of teammates from William Paterson. Jones scored six tries in his season debut after coming back from a torn bicep earlier this year. His teammate, flyhallf Kenny Anderson has been a mainstay all season for the undefeated William Paterson. He led the team to a season high 84 points and added a try himself in the win over Hofstra. More remarkable, the Pioneers are two wins away from winning the conference after going winless last season.

Women’s Rugby Imports Player of the Week

Player: Kelly Phillips
School: Siena College
Position: number eight
Class: Senior

Phillips tallied 17 points in Siena’s quarterfinal win over Albany. The forward scored two tries, added two conversions and a penalty to propel the Saints into their first ever conference semifinals.

If you would like to nominate someone for his or her play on the field please email tristaterugbyinfo@gmail.com after the completion of your match. Each week one men’s and one women’s player will be selected for Rugby Imports Player of the Week.
