"It's pretty incredible. I'm lost for words with how I feel right now, like, I'm on the verge of tears, but also laughing and so happy," Nasser said.Levi's incredible performance, capped by the winning length-of-the-field intercept score in the final, also helped them put the record straight in the 39-0 quarter-final win over Canada, who had sensationally beaten them in the Olympic semis.
Her 15 tries in one tournament beat the record of 14 set by New Zealand great Portia Woodman in Atlanta in 2015. Levi now has 167 tries in her World Series career, on target to race past Woodman's record career mark of 256. But it was the 29-year-old longtime star Caslick herself who made the vital, match-sealing turnover with just 22 seconds left as New Zealand, who scored tries through Jorja Miller, Risi Pouri-Lane, Theresa Setefano and Manaia Nuku in the roller-coaster showdown, pressed desperately for a last-gasp winner.
