Diane Schnapp (born 29 June 1968) is a former American rugby union player. She participated in the 1998 Women's Rugby World Cup and the 1999 Hong Kong Women's Sevens.[1][3][4][5] Schnapp played at openside flank.[6]
Though small in size, Schnapp's strength, courage, and character as a monster on the field made her one of ten greatest North American players.[2] She is also considered the nation's best defensive player and was thus named to the 2000-2009 Women's Rugby Team and Players of the Decade from Rugbymag.com.[6]
