On May 4-5, the International Women’s Flag Football Association, Ada’s Wilson football factory, and the Inn at ONU, hosted a women’s and girls flag football tournament at Ohio Northern’s Dial-Roberson Stadium.
The Glacier Girls team won the women’s division, while the Bulldog girls of Ada won the youth division.
The opportunity to hold a tournament in Ada developed when IWFFA President Diane Beruldsen guest-lectured in Professor Russ Crawford’s Women’s Sport History class. ONU Athletic Director Tom Simmons, Assistant AD Kourtney Wilson, and Andy Wentling, Plant Manager of the Wilson Sporting Goods football factory agreed this would be a great idea. Wentling provided footballs and ONU provided the venue. The Inn at ONU gave discount rates for "Loose Women" players who came to the tournament without a team affiliation.
Event sponsors included Viva Maria’s, El Campo, Padrone’s, Roundy’s Pies, and Tavern 101.
