Katie Mathews, a 2012 Bowdoin College graduate from Cumberland, has been named an All-American by USA Rugby.

Mathews, a flyhalf, was the lone player from the newly formed New England Small College Rugby Conference and one of 22 players overall to receive All-America honors. She was chosen as Bowdoin’s MVP last fall after leading the Polar Bears to an undefeated regular season and a trip to the Northeast Rugby Union finals.
