Women's Flag Football Offense Held Down by Stout Spartan Defense, Five-Game Win Streak Snapped

NEWBURGH, N.Y. -- Hoping to head into the final week of its inaugural season on a six-game winning streak, Post University Women's Flag Football ran into a stout St. Thomas Aquinas College defense at Kaplan Field in the afternoon cap of the road trip, falling to the Spartans, 31-6, in Newburgh, New York, on Sunday. At 8-5, no matter what happens next weekend, the Eagles will finish their first season of competition with a winning record.

THE BASICS

Post University 6, St. Thomas Aquinas College 31

Post University (8-5)

St. Thomas Aquinas College (4-1)

HOW IT HAPPENED
Junior quarterback Delia Kotsaftis had the only score of the game for the Eagles, rushing for a 21-yard score late in the fourth quarter with Post already trailing 31-0, as the offense netted only 196 total yards of offense, 113 of which came on the ground. Kotsaftis finished 12-for-17 passing for 83 yards with no touchdowns and no interceptions, along with one sack. 

Freshman quarterback Chloe Ahorrio was the offense for the Spartans as she did it all in the air and on the ground, making herself responsible for all five touchdowns that St. Thomas Aquinas College scored in one way or another. Ahorrio was 4-for-13 passing for 65 yards and two touchdowns, along with one interception snagged by freshman defensive back Wilma Fjall, but rushing-wise, she had 253 total yards for three touchdowns.

Sophomore wide receiver Alaila Thomas caught both of Ahorrio's touchdown passes, finishing with two receptions for 55 yards, while Fjall was the high man for the Eagles with one reception for 25 yards. On the ground, Kotsaftis led the way for Post with 56 rushing yards on 13 carries, including the lone touchdown of the 31-6 loss.

BY THE NUMBERS
  • Chloe Ahorrio dominated the Post University defense, rushing for 253 yards on 19 carries for three touchdowns while throwing for two touchdown passes in the win for St. Thomas Aquinas College
  • Post University's offense was held to 83 passing yards and 113 rushing yards, while being forced to punt the ball three times in the defeat
  • Wilma Fjall picked off another pass in the second game of the day, making that two total on Sunday and four total on the season, which is the second-most for Post University
  • This is the second time this season in which the Post University defense has allowed more than 30 points, doing so against Villa Maria College earlier this year in a 32-12 loss on the road
 
WHO'S NEXT
Post University closes its inaugural season on the road next weekend when they head to Brooklyn, New York, for a pair of games against St. Joseph's University, Brooklyn, and Howard Community College on Saturday at 12:00 PM and 1:20 PM.
