Olympic Games: Tar Heel Naya Tapper helps USA rugby to bronze medal

One of the more fun Olympic moments from an American perspective happened on Tuesday, when the US women’s rugby sevens teams took down Australia to win bronze in that event. The victory came in dramatic fashion as well, when US player Alex Sedrick managed to break free and score as time expired after they had been trailing 12-7.

A FINISH YOU HAVE TO SEE TO BELIEVE!
