Citadel Wins SoCon 7s Finals
The Citadel won the Southern Conference 7s Championship Sunday, wading through a tough knockout round to do so.
Early on in the season, the Southern Conference Commissioner's Cabinet had predicted an exciting 7s series as several teams had continued to get better. They were right.
College 7s Update
Among the college 7s tournament winners this weekend:
Wisconsin defeated Michigan 38-17 to win the Big 10. South Carolina showed off some of their best 7s of the spring and beat Tennessee 21-7 in the final of the SCRC.
Bowl Runners-Up for USA in Singapore
The USA finished runners-up in the Bowl at the Singapore 7s, losing 14-10 to Scotland in the final game.
The Eagles beat Russia fairly comfortably, and then shut out Portugal in the Bowl semis - that game was notable in part because Nate Ebner got his first try for the USA, staking the Eagles to a 7-0 halftime lead.
USA Women to Cup Quarters in Langford
It was a difficult day for the USA Women’s National 7s team in Langford, BC, but in the end they got what they wanted.
The Eagles started off poorly, losing to a Spain team they really should beat handily - an early 7-0 lead was undone by two Spanish tries - the second and game-winner from a fumbled lineout on the USA 5-meter. Spain won 10-7.
USA 1-2 in Singapore - On to Bowl Bracket
The USA Men's 7s team wrapped up Saturday's pool play at the Singapore 7s with a 19-12 loss to New Zealand, which puts them into a Sunday matchup with Russia for the bowl quarterfinals.
