2008 ALL TOURNAMENT TEAM: MARFU U23 LAU ALL STAR CHAMPIONSHIPS

A personal thank you to all the players, coaches, selectors, referees, and to our hosts Philadelphia Women for a great LAU Tournament this weekend!

Congratulations to the VRU for their tournament win, and to the MARFU U-19s for a very competitive first tournament appearance!

After reviewing all the input from the coaches and selectors, the following players have been named to the MARFU U23 LAU All Star Championship "All Tournament Team". These players represent, positionally, the strongest 22 players over the course of the weekend as identified by the MARFU U23 program staff and LAU coaches.
