5.15.08 - The Women Eagles arrived in Amsterdam Sunday for the Amsterdam Sevens Tournament which will be held May 17-18. The Women Eagles are practicing daily with a mini scrimmage against the Brazilian National side scheduled for Thursday, to "test" their cohesiveness, and individual skills under pressure. Four new players to International 7s will get a small taste of what to expect on Saturday and Sunday.

Head coach Julie McCoy said, "With extra time together, we have been able to redefine the basics for the rookies to the team, as well as solidify connections between them and those who have represented the USA this season. We are eager for our "litmus test" tomorrow against the Brazilians, and have the expectation to be a very competitive team at the Amsterdam 7s."

The team has an "off" day on Friday to rest up, so a Canal and Anne Frank House Tour is planned for further team building.

After 2 big tournament wins in San Diego and Hong Kong, the US Women's National Sevens team participate with other strong teams including European champions England, other quality national and invitational teams, and perennial powerhouse, Aotearoa Maori. Check back for the draw as soon as its released.
