Throughout the summer, DartmouthSports.com will be focusing on members of the Class of 2020 who are currently in their "Sophomore Summers."
This installment features Becca Jane Rosko of the women’s rugby team. A flyhalf from Colorado, Rosko was third on the team with 20 points from four tries. Her first try of the season was scored in the win over Harvard in the Ivy Rugby Championship match and she scored twice in the victory over AIC in the NIRA Quarterfinal.
DartmouthSports.com: What have you been doing during your sophomore summer?
Becca Jane Rosko: I am taking four classes, working at Hinman, lifting (bulking season?) hanging with friends, studying, cooking, going to the river and dog sitting.
DS: What is your favorite place on campus?
BJR: My favorite place is actually the public library, Howe Library, because it is peaceful and not as distracting as being on campus can be.
DS: Outside of sports, what are you most passionate about?
BJR: I have always been fascinated with photography and have a pretty good eye. I finally took a class here at Dartmouth and I rekindled my passion for it. I look forward to exploring it more and potentially working with someone someday and to sell some of my work.
DS: If you could swap places with one teammate, who would it be and why?
BJR: Alex Stendahl. Alex is quietly witty and incredibly intelligent. She is humble and funny. She has been traveling the world for the past few terms, which I am envious of, but so proud of her for. I would love to be in her shoes experiencing learning all the things she is. She's a very cool nut.
DS: Other than your parents, who has had the greatest influence on your life?
BJR: My brother, Wade, because he has taught me how to be stronger than I think I am, supported me even when I didn't think I could do something, and is as weird and as spunky as I am. He's one of the most intelligent and determined people I know, so having that to look up to while growing up and even now has made him one of the greatest influences on my life. Next, would have to be my high school rugby coach and Coaches Dowty and Bridges, because they keep me pushing me and inspiring me to do the thing I love.
DS: What is your useless/hidden talent?
BJR: I got a unicycle for Christmas in 6th grade and learned in three months.
DS: What has been your best on-field memory thus far in your Dartmouth career?
BJR: Sophomore fall preseason, we played Quinnipiac, who were ranked No.1 in the country. We led the game until after halftime when QU put points on the board. We fought hard and together in this game, although it was one of our first games of the year. I remember I played fullback and I made a tackle I will never, ever forget. It was exhilarating and a high intensity game, yet I felt oddly calm during it. This has been one of my favorite moments because of the cohesion between my teammates and the determination to put our bodies on the line for each other, and the outcome was nice as well, I suppose. We were all so proud.
DS: What would be your best advice to your 15-year-old self?
BJR: Things will pass, and you will be okay.
DS: How is Hanover different or similar to where you grew up?
BJR: Hanover is very different, yet similar, to where I grew up. I was born and raised in Summit County, Colorado, at 9,000 feet in the Rocky Mountains. Summit consists of four main towns surrounding a huge lake, encompassed by 12 and 13,000-foot mountains. Different kinds of pine trees and aspens are the only trees and it's a big ski resort town, because we are 10-40 minutes from the famous Vail, Breckenridge, Keystone, and Arapahoe Basin ski mountains. Hanover does not quite compare, but I've found things I love about Hanover, like the fall. I don't have fall where I live, so freshman fall was the first time I experienced an actual fall season.
DS: If you could play another sport at Dartmouth, what would it be and why?
BJR: I would play women's hockey (only if checking were allowed) because I've always been intrigued by hockey from a young age and had friends who played, so I watched a lot. I never got into it and that's something I regret now because I love fast paced sports.
