Canada took home one of its first gold medals at the Pan Am Games in Peru this weekend, with the women’s rugby sevens team scoring an impressive win in a 24-10 game against the United States.

The team, led by captain Kayla Moleschi, successfully defended the title they won in Toronto during the 2015 Pan Am Games. Thanks to winger Asia Hogan-Rochester’s three tries and her teammate Breanne Nicholas’ one try, Canada was able to finish with a landslide victory and add another gold medal to their 2019 record.
