The National Senior Women’s Sevens team ended an excellent Las Vegas
International Women’s Sevens Tournament in Las Vegas, NV on top, winning
the championship finals 14 -5 over the host US team.
This victory, the Canadian team has won their last five major
international tournaments, marks the second year in a row they have
captured the Las Vegas International Women’s Sevens Tournament title.
With tries from Mandy Marchak and Ghislaine Landry, the squad were able to
overpower the Americans with strong pressure at the breakdown and
brilliant counter-attacking play.
Notching converted tries in each half, Ashley Steacy scoring conversions on both
tries, the Canadian team took control of the game early and never gave
it up until time had expired.
Expectations were high and lots of hunger to walk away with their second
straight Vegas title, the team went into the tournament focused on a
goal and came away with exactly what they wanted to achieve.
"This win means a lot. This is just where we want to be going into Hong
Kong,” said Coach John Tait adding they wanted to use this tournament to
perfect Canada’s system and plays.
Having accomplished yet another important milestone, on their road to the 2013
World Cup of Sevens and beyond towards the 2016 Olympics in Rio,
Canada's women can enjoy the bright lights of Las Vegas tonight,
confident that they have done their country proud.
