After captaining the USA girls team at the 2014 Summer Youth Olympics Games in Nanjing, China, Tess starred as fullback for Penn State Women’s Rugby and led the team to consecutive D1 Elite 15s National Championships in 2016 and 2017.

First capped for the USA Rugby Women’s National Team in 2016 against England, Tess has since earned six caps in 15s — including at the 2017 Women’s Rugby World Cup in Ireland — and was capped in 7s in Clermont-Ferrand, France in June 2017.

After graduating from Penn State in May 2018, Tess returned to her hometown of Denville, NJ to start her career as Pediatric Nurse and play for Morris Women while continuing to train for the WNT.

Congratulations Tess! The Morris Rugby community looks forward to following your rugby journey.
