It’s fair to say that the USA Falcons men’s team exceeded expectations at the EAAST 7s tournaments in France over the past two weeks.
Playing against almost-international teams and professional touring sides, the mostly collegiate group, brought together just a few days before the first tournament, were up against it.
The USA Falcons women took 2nd in the EAAST 7s in Haguenau, France.
The Falcons were 2-1 on Day One, beating Tropics 7s and Germany, while losing to the New Zealand Cavaliers.
That set up Sunday's semifinal with Tropics, which they won 19-10. The Cavaliers won their semi and so the two teams met up in the final.
It was a pretty solid day at the EAAST 7s in Haguenau for the USA Falcons teams.
The Falcons women finished the day 2-1.
They beat the German national VII and Tropics 7s, and lost to the NZ Cavaliers.
The win over Germany was a close one, 14-10, while the loss to the Cavaliers was a step forward from their results vs (28-7 and 51-0) from last week in Cognac.
It' on to Haguenau for the EAAST 7s and the USA Falcons teams.
The second EAAST 7s tournament kicks off in a few hours—3:45AM ET in fact—with the Americans in action immediately.
