The Sutton resident and first-time Olympian scored 9 of Team Canada\u2019s points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Daniels got on the scoresheet in the first half as well when she converted Piper Logan\u2019s try to stake Canada to an early 7-0 lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The #3-ranked French\u2014which pulverized Japan (49-0), Brazil (26-0), and the USA (31-14) en route to the quarters \u2013 took a 14-7 first half lead on the visitors. However, Logan scored another try off a scrum and Daniels converted to tie the match late in the second half–setting the stage for the #5-ranked squad\u2019s last-minute heroics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Team Canada opened the Paris Olympics with a 17-14 win over Fiji in a pool play match at the Stade de France on Sunday in front of a record-breaking crowd of 66,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was an historic day for the Canadian rugby squad as the narrow three-point win was their first Olympic victory over the Fijians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charity Williams and Keyera Wordley added tries for Canada to provide the 3-point margin of victory over Fiji.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 7s squad lost their second game of pool play to another Pacific powerhouse as New Zealand defeated the valiant Canadian side 33-7, but rallied to beat China 26-17 in Game 3 on the strength of a pair of tries by Williams to advance to their quarterfinal match with France.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
