Ep. 19: Women in Sports part 6: Rugby

Heard the buzz? Rugby is all the rage. Get caught up on the women's Olympic performance including their first medal in the sport, what this means for rugby in the US, and what struggles have brought them to this point. Karee Helgerson is our guest today walking us through her rugby career - highs and lows of a sport not so popular in our country. How can an entire university erase 3 national championships? We don't know either, but that's exactly what happened to Karee, her coach, and her teammates - including Ilona Maher bronze medalist for the US Olympic Rugby team.
