favorite rugby moment: During our Midwest Finals match against Ball State University we were far enough ahead that we were able to bring in all of our substitutes.

name: Lindsey Stene
years played: 2008-2011
position: Fly-Half
favorite rugby moment: Heart to Hearts with Vicky and Co.
anything else you think the world needs to know about you: Lindsey Stene is a World renowned hunter of Heffalumps and Woozles and attributes her success to the teaching of her friend and teammate Steak in the art of Bear wrestling. These skills had to be adapted of course because of the fact that Heffalumps and Woozles are not only different animals but also 2 dimensional. When she’s not fighting literary crime you can find her reading Nietzsche and painting Renaissance style portraits of her friends and teammates which she then sells to avid fans of the team in order to support her “Koala Yummies” habit. To date she has made $0 on this enterprise, but continues to feed her Koala Yummies addiction by an unknown means. When asked what she would like to do in her life she replied, “Three things...Save humans from themselves, Get my mom to start composting, and prove that the Lorax is real.”
