The Alabama State Women's Flag Football team wrapped up a historic second season by competing in the Women's Collegiate Football Finals at IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida. Entering the tournament as the No. 4 seed, the Lady Hornets put together an impressive postseason run, defeating No. 5 seed Hendrix 42-6 and upsetting No. 1 seed Ferrum 38-5 before advancing to the championship game. Alabama State ultimately fell 24-16 to No. 2 seed Webber International, closing the season as national runner-up.
Throughout the year, the Hornets continued building their presence on the national stage. Alabama State competed in the inaugural Fiesta Bowl Flag Football Classic at Arizona State as the only Division I varsity program in the field and later traveled to Oakland, California, during Super Bowl week for the inaugural HBCU Flag Football Classic.
For first-year head coach Tyrone Poole, the season represented more than wins and losses. It was about establishing a culture and creating an identity for a new program.
