In honor of 50 years of Title IX and Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, Eyewitness News is shedding light on a young woman from Queens who is trying to level the playing field for the sport of rugby.
New York City's beaches will officially open on Saturday, with lifeguards on duty during the Memorial Day weekend's unofficial kickoff to summer.
"I think to increase participation, one, there needs to be more female coaches and more representation just of getting coaches that look like the students that they're coaching," Play Rugby USA coach Ashley Allen said. "I was able to choose the activities I want to participate in, I am a woman who is the CEO of a nonprofit organization that she feels very passionate about," Hunt said.
"So for Allisa specifically, she has worked very, very hard and she has secured a scholarship to play Division I rugby at Quinnipiac University," Hunt said.
