GRR: USA Women 7s
Former Stanford and USA 7s star Jessica Watkins will be part of an Earth-to-Space in a broadcast conversation on Friday.
Watkins, who said when she was in college that she wanted to become an astronaut, is serving on the International Space Station along with Kjell Lindgren, Bob Hines, and Samantha Cristiforetti.
Former USA 7s star Zack Test has been added to the USA Women's 7s program coaching staff as an assistant coach.
The USA Women’s 7s team ended up 4th in the Seville 7s, ending the weekend with two tough losses.
It was perhaps a day too far for a team that was without one key player; they looked tired in the 3rd-4th clash with England and that, along with one or two really questionable refereeing decisions, spelled defeat in the end.
The USA Men's 7s team will play England for 5th in Seville after beating a tenacious French side in the 5th-place semifinals.
It wasn't pretty but they got the victory.
The USA women defeated Canada to top Pool A in Seville, beating their crossborder rivals 14-7.
It was a slow, tackle-heavy game as the USA players looked a little sluggish and Canada did, too. Neither wanted to give an inch and the game didn't see a lot of open field play.
