THOMAS 24, OTTAWA (KS) 12

For the second day, the Night Hawks had a very intense game coming up for them. The only team they were playing for this day was the Ottawa University Braves, the three-time, defending, national champion. This was the team that defeated the Night Hawks in the past two season's national championship game. These ladies put everything on the line for this game. The first drive of the game the Braves drove the field. They were inside the 20 with a fresh set of new downs, however our Night Hawks defense shut them down, causing the Braves to go four-and-out in their own redzone. Sophomore Alexa Wilson did a phenomenal job carrying the Night Hawks offense. As the first half concluded, the Night Hawks were leading, and they left the defending champions playing catch up. Freshman, Kaitlyn Herb was giving pressure to the Ottawa offensive back field all game, causing the Braves to throw multiple interceptions. The Night Hawks starting receivers all did an amazing job making big time plays and the same with the defense. This was the best game the team has played all year. As the clock ran down, the final score was Night Hawks 24 Braves 12.
