Georgie Perris-Redding scored three tries and the United States built a first-half lead big enough to withstand a second-half Italian charge, beating Italy 36-27 in the WXV Global Series on Saturday at Texas Health Mansfield Stadium in Mansfield, Texas. The Eagles are unbeaten in the series after September road wins over Ireland, 40-36 in Dublin, and Wales, 26-24 in Cardiff.
Perris-Redding opened the scoring in the 10th minute and Bella Vogel converted. Francesca Granzotto answered for Italy five minutes later, but the Americans took control before halftime. Perris-Redding crossed again in the 22nd minute, then Hope Rogers scored twice in five minutes, at 28 and 33, to make it 26-5. Vittoria Vecchini's try in the 38th minute cut the gap to 26-10 at the break.
