Rugley on why she chose UND:
"I chose UND because of how homey my visit felt. The team was very welcoming and so were the coaches and the staff around the school. From the moment I walked onto campus I was comfortable and knew UND was where I am supposed to be."

Coach J. Tupac on Rugley:
"One of the most physically dominant players in the 2025 class, Kimanni is a force to be reckoned with both on offense and defense. More importantly, she cares deeply about her teammates and knows that the best teams value communication at an elite level.  From the moment we first met, we knew Kimanni was a Fighting Hawk; she embodies our core values and knows how to strike a balance between being a relentless competitor and having fun. Kimanni's energy is infectious, and she will be an immediate fan favorite when she dons the green and white.  UND has a long history of phenomenal middle blockers and Kimanni is set to continue, and elevate, that tradition even further.  We are ecstatic to welcome her to Grand Forks this spring."
