The U.S. Air Force Academy won the fall D1 title in 15s in 2016 and several overall women's D1 championships in the early 2000s. This time the Zoomies took home the 2018 Women's Open Sevens title, blasting through their opening pool games on Saturday.
In pool play, after shutting out Queen's University and Sam Houston State, Air Force had to battle Chico State and emerged victorious 19-14, thanks to Olufunmilayo Akinlosotu's late try.
It was the same story in the knockout rounds. A blistering 41-0 shutout of Texas A&M set up a rematch with CSU, which had ousted Princeton 36-5. The teams traded tries to a 12-10 Chico State lead at halftime. Sara Cook's try put Air Force ahead 15-12 only for the Wildcats to retake the lead when Darby McFall went over. As time expired, though, AFA did it again and Jessica Beyer scored to win it all for the Zoomies.
