PITS hooker Travis Moscone and inside center Jesse Milne were named 1st Team All Americans by USA Rugby, following their achievements in the Pacific Coast Rugby Union All-Star Tournament last May, the PCRFU Elite Development Camp and the High School All American Camp in Denver in July.

PITS was one of only two clubs in all of the U.S. to have two players named to the team.  (The other being PITS rival Diablo Youth Rugby, with brothers Sione and Mate Hausia also 1st teamers.)
