See what Maher, Stephanie Rovetti and Kristi Kirshe had to say about the last-minute upset and what the bronze medal means to the team.
"In rugby, we say we're just passing through the jersey and making the jersey better," Maher said."And that's always been my goal: to make this jersey better, not just for me but for the other girls who are going to come into the program."
It took until the very last play to secure their win, when Alex Sedrick stiff-armed her way past Australia's defense and ended up "It's such a rollercoaster of emotions," rugby player Stephanie Rovetti said."The momentum swung both ways, and it's like over in a blink.""One minute for the rest of your life," she added."That's a life-changing moment for all of us and for rugby in America.""That took absolutely everything, and I hope you can tell it means absolutely everything to us," she said."We did it together, every single step of the way.
"I'm so proud of my team," Ilona Maher said."I get to be out there with them every day, and I'm not alone. If I'm at a 5, someone else is at a 10 and they bring me out. So it's really a special team we have."Maher said she was broken after losing at the Tokyo Olympics. This comeback was for her family, she said, who stood by her every step of the way.
