7s might still be going on, but that doesn’t mean 15s season isn’t right around the corner! The schedules are set and all 3 Lions squads are ready to go as they head into their 2021 @midwestrugby campaigns! Make sure to come out and see them play live at Lions for Hope Sports Complex! #backinblack

This week’s Lions Player Spotlight features Lion

This week’s Lions Player Spotlight features Lions veteran and 7s utility prop @barahserry!
Hometown: Minnetonka, MN
College: @depaulu
Position: 15s Lock, 7s Prop
Favorite Rugby memory: In 2017 I traveled to Ireland with my future 7s teammates Betty & @kkhirt to play for the @midwestrugby U-24 Thunderbirds. After years of "beer rugby" in college, finding a home in rugby by being selected to this competitive team and watching the 2017 Women's Rugby World Cup sparked the fire in me to see how far I can go in this sport.
Proudest rugby accomplishment: Finally learning how to catch a kickoff ball this season! 😂😂
Why the Lions: After graduating college I had never played much 7s and didn't quite think a 5'9 180lb slow gal could do it! I wanted to level up my game and was coaxed by my 15s teammates to come out to a practice. One practice under the helm of @jeremynash22 and I knew this was where I needed to be. The pace of practice, caliber of players and coaching staff told me it was where I needed to be to play up. My growth over the last 3.5 years from "crying and opening a bottle of wine when getting named to the nationals 12 in 2018 because I didn't think I would get selected" to now owning the title of "#1 big girl" (sorry ya'll @newtro05 said it not me) is because of the entire organization. I couldn't be prouder to be a Lion and represent the BEST 7s TEAM IN THE MIDWEST 4 SEASONS RUNNING!!!! #backinblack #BigGirl7s
