Canadian women's rugby 7s team finishes 4th in Los Angeles with loss to U.S.

The Canadian women followed their third-place finish last weekend in Vancouver with a fourth Sunday at the HSBC SVNS Los Angeles.

Canada was beaten 21-7 by the United States in the third-place playoff at Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, Calif.

Captain Naya Tapper opening the scoring for the Americans, outpacing several Canadians for a converted try and a 7-0 lead. It was the 129th try of her career. Krissy Scurfield's converted try tied it up after Sophie de Goede slashed through the U.S. defence.
