By the time this next sequence of Sevens World Series tournaments is over the women will be halfway through their season.
The USA has a very good chance to secure a spot in the 2024 Olympics by finishing among the top four in the season. They can do that by repeating what they've done in Dubai and Capte Town, and finish 3rd.
But you can bet they want more than that. Certainly the Eagles are capable of winning tournaments. Since the beginning of the 2019 season, over 19 tournaments, Australia and New Zealand have won all but four tournaments. Canada won one of those other four, and the USA has won the other three.
And with their improved play and greater variety in attack, the USA should be targeting a tournament win despite the face that New Zealand and Australia host the next two events.
“After a tight turn around and a purposeful refinement block back in Chula Vista, we are refreshed and excited to have the opportunity to get back on the series straight away to continue to develop and perform on the world stage.," said Head Coach Emilie Bydwell. "While we are happy with the outcome of the first two tournaments, we know that has put us in a position where teams are gunning for us and we need to be prepared to meet what’s coming.
"We are confident in what our potential is as a group and how we want to play, so our goal continues to be bringing that to life and to be 5% better across every aspect of the game each tournament. Our ability to remain present and take every tournament one game at a time continues to be critical to our success.”
