The Pan-Am Games kicks off Friday in Santiago, Chile, with two USA teams facing two somewhat distinct goals.
The USA Men's team is a group of mostly younger players and this tournament has been traditionally used as a testing ground for Eagle prospects.
Young USA Men's Team to Pan-Am Sevens
The USA has ended the WXV 1-2 after a 30-8 loss to Italy in the final game.
That game had its own drama as Italy needed to win by 25 or more to win the WXV 2 trophy. They were held out by some dogged defense by the Eagles, allowing Scotland to celebrate their tournament victory.
On the way to getting back to the upper echelon the USA Women’s National 15s team faces a difficult opponent Saturday in the person of Italy.
What they want to do is show they’ve taken strides since the last time played (and lost to) Italy, which was 2022.
