At Brown University, Flores took over the women's club programme in August 2013, where she continued coaching until her death.
She became just the third woman (out of 47 members in all) to join the US Rugby Hall of Fame after Anne Barry in 2014 and Patty Jervy in 2015.
Flores was widely respected for her tireless and fearless advocacy of the women's game, working across the world with coaches and players to champion change and improvements and her death is a huge loss to the game.
