MARIETTA, Ga. – The Ottawa University women's flag football team opened the 2023 Women's Flag Finals with a 34-6 victory over Midland University on Thursday morning.

The Ottawa defense forced a three and out by Midland to open the game. Five plays later the Braves were in the end zone. Madysen Carrera threw a 20 yard touchdown pass to Mya Quinn to give the Braves the early 6-0 lead.

Midland took their second offensive possession of the game and moved the ball to the OU 25 yard line. That is where the OU defense came away with a turnover on downs. On fourth and five, Abby Brown broke up the pass, giving the Ottawa offense the ball on its own 25 yard line.

The Brave offense was not able to score and turned the ball over on downs, giving MU the ball on the Brave 39 yard line. Ottawa's defense started the possession with a sack by Susann Kaufmann. Three plays later, the Warriors turned the ball over on downs and OU had the ball on its own 23 yard line.

This time Ottawa was able to find the endzone. The Braves put together an eight play, 57 yard drive that ended with another Carrera touchdown pass to Quinn and Ottawa led 12-0 with 4:20 to go in the second quarter.

The teams exchanged punts to open the second half and OU had the ball on its own 30 yard line. Six plays later, Carrera and Jazlyn Camacho connected on a 10 yard touchdown pass. The Braves went for two and Carrera hit an open Tatiana Dos Santos, giving OU a 27-0 lead.
