After dropping just one match in the group round and winning a quarterfinal against Great Britain, the US Women’s Rugby Sevens team is semifinals-bound for the first time since the sport was introduced in the Olympics in 2016.
Though rugby is a less-popular sport in the US, the team has gained notoriety this year in part due to team member Ilona Maher, who went viral on Tiktok during the 2020 Olympics and has continued to grow a social media audience since.
