Kelter shines in bronze-medal loss at Women’s Rugby World Cup
August 26, 2017
Alev Kelter
The starting center collected 13 points, 8 tackles and 13 passes in 80 minutes.
She also gained 105 meters with the ball, including a 40-yard run in the closing minutes that provided the final points for the Americans.
Kelter, of Chugiak High fame, is a bruising player using in the middle of the scum.
On this play, however, she picked up a loose ball and galloped down the sideline before passing to teammate Cheta Emba at the goal line for an easy try.
Kelter could have kept the ball and probably scored; but with a defender hot on her heels, she opted to hook up her teammate for an uncontested score.
Kelter finished fifth in the World Cup with 32 points.
