CRC 7s Women's Point Leaders - Day 2
Sevens - Collegiate Sevens

The women's USA Sevens Collegiate Rugby Championship saw some fantastic tries during today's playoffs, some of which came at the hands of leading point scorers Jessica Sexauer from Army and Lauren Barber from Penn State. Each scored three tries on the day to lead field and got the crowd animated with some fantastic breakaways.

The most notable came in the final when Sexauer split PSU's defense, galloping from behind Army's 22 meter to take on a lone PSU defender. A feet-clearing stiff-arm was only outdone by the crowd's reaction, and Sexauer enjoyed the opportunity to relive it on the jumbotron.

Barber is a freshman at Penn State and handled PPL Park and its venue with maturity. She ran in two tries during the team's semifinal against Temple, displaying her superior footwork and freezing defenders for the five-pointers.
