Canada's women sevens rugby squad moved into Sunday's semifinal, and the men set a path to get there, as both teams won all their games Saturday at the Rugby Americas North (RAN) Olympic qualifying tournament.
The Canadian women crushed Mexico 82-0, to punctuate lopsided victories over St. Lucia and Jamaica , and outscored their opponents by a combined 194-0, in front of 3,352 mostly Canada-supporting fans.
But this wasn't a matter of trying to drive up the score, Hanratty said. Moreso, it was a matter of chasing a perfect performance. The men won both their games, albeit not as convincingly, but still advanced to Sunday's semifinal, having won their pool. Canada will play the winner of the Mexico-Barbados quarterfinal.
