GRR: USA Women 7s
The USA Women's 7s team went 3-0 in the Hamilton 7s, putting themselves in excellent position to once again reach the podium.
Despite the fact that the attack still isn't firing quite as well as it could, the Eagle game is working thanks to a hardworking defense and just enough special moments.
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.
It's 3rd place for the USA in the Women's tournament at the Cape Town 7s thanks to another excellent coalface effort from Ilona Maher and one key opportunistic play.
The USA women are into the semifinals at Cape Town despite a bit of an up-and-down day in South Africa.
The Eagles had already clinched a place in the quarterfinals when they faced France on Saturday, and it was a good thing as the French controlled this game.
Day One at the Cape Town 7s was a good one for the USA women's team.
Playing a slightly more varied attack that included a few switch moves, some better pass-follow, and a few short balls, the Eagles beat Japan 19-14 in a game they had under control and Canada 24-7.
