GRR: SVNS
The USA women took 3rd at the SVNS LAX, losing just the one game all weekend.
After beating Spain by a massive margin and Great Britain almost emphatically, the Eagles capped off their pool play with a tight 22-19 win over rivals Canada.
Appropriately enough USA captain Kevon Williams celebrated his 50th tournament by being the first to touch the ball and by scoring two tries as the USA men’s 7s team opened their LA 7s account with a 31-12 defeat of Samoa.
The women's rounds for Friday night are wrapped up at the LA Sevens, with one major surprise.
Brazil put in an excellent defensive performance, keeping FIji from scoring until the final seconds. Before that, Bianca Silva scored on a pick-and-run at the end of the first half and they frustrated Fijiana after that.
The most important game for the USA women to play in any 7s tournament is the quarterfinal.
The LAX SVNS pools and schedules are out.
