ST.PAUL - The UW-Stout flag football team kicked off their season in dominant fashion, securing two resounding wins. In their first game ever, Stout topped the University of Northwestern 42-8, starting strong with Kate Holst dashing 45 yards for a touchdown on the very first play. Holst added another TD in the opener, finishing with two scores to lead the way. The momentum carried into the second game, where Stout shut out Gustavus Adolphus College 61-0.
Offensively, Mia Schmoll stood out, racking up four touchdowns in the second game while also shining on defense. Amanda Giesen, Adalyn Lehman, and quarterback Allison Letcher were key contributors to the potent attack. Defensively, the team was relentless, surrendering just one touchdown all day. They snagged two interceptions in the first game and an impressive five in the second, with Adeline Lund returning one for a touchdown and adding another pick. Mia Brunelli led the team in tackles, supported by Cassie Santelman and Schmoll, as the defense stifled both opponents.
Stout will host a flag football jamboree on Saturday April 12. Seven teams will play multiple games throughout the day starting at 12 p.m. at Williams Stadium.  SCHEDULE
