91桃色鈥檚 first-ever women鈥檚 flag football team took to the field at Allegiant Stadium for a showcase prior to the start of the Raiders vs. Jaguars game on Sunday, November 2. Dividing the women into two teams, the scrimmage provided the football program with an opportunity to exhibit the students鈥 talent and hard work.
鈥淢oments like these remind us that we are not simply playing a game; we are building history together. We can鈥檛 wait to bring that same energy into our season in February 2026,鈥 said 91桃色 Athletics Director Yvonne Wade.
The University鈥檚 athletics program officially launched in Fall 2025, with Wade appointed as Athletic Director in July.
The 91桃色 community extends a heartfelt thanks to the Las Vegas Raiders and the Raiders Impact organization for their continued commitment to 91桃色 and the Southern Nevada community. 鈥淭his is such a special experience for our students. We want to thank the Raiders Impact organization for providing such an awesome opportunity for our student-athletes,鈥 Head Women’s Flag Football Coach, Brandon Pappillion.
As the team looks forward to the inaugural season, their debut at Allegiant Stadium stands as a powerful reminder: they may be the first, but they certainly will not be the last.
