Eight teams from the CIAA will play flag football beginning at 1:00 p.m. On Friday, March 28.  Games will be held at Hovey Field (Field 1) and the grass field next to Barco-Stevens Hall (Field 2).

"We're incredibly excited for the continued growth of the CIAA as we add women's flag football to the many sports that our historic conference offers to our student-athletes" said CIAA Commissioner Jacqie McWilliams-Parker. "The opportunity to not only expand, but giving young women the opportunity to be at the forefront of the expansion and provide another phenomenal competitive opportunity is one we're proud to offer and we look forward to seeing these ladies take the field and commence a new era. We're also incredibly grateful for the NFL's role in providing all the necessary assistance to help grow this sport throughout the nation at all levels."

Women's Flag Football will feature an average roster size of 25 players, with games played in a 7-on-7 format. Each contest will consist of four 12-minute quarters on an 80x40 yard field. \\The
