History <\/a><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n WALESKA, Ga. – The (1) Ottawa University women’s flag football team dug deep Thursday morning and delivered a dramatic 32\u201328 comeback victory over (2) Keiser University. How It Happened Keiser added another touchdown before the end of the quarter to lead 15\u20136.<\/p>\n Second Quarter Keiser answered again late in the half, taking a 22\u201312 lead into the break.<\/p>\n Third Quarter Anderson led a poised seven-play, 66-yard drive, finishing it herself with a 5-yard touchdown run and a successful two-point conversion pass. Suddenly it was 28\u201320 heading into the fourth.<\/p>\n Fourth Quarter Given the short field, Anderson went to work.<\/p>\n She converted a critical fourth-and-one with her legs, then calmly marched the Braves inside the 5-yard line. With 10 seconds remaining, she fired a 4-yard touchdown pass to Olga Sotillo<\/a> for the go-ahead score.<\/p>\n Keiser’s final desperation attempt fell incomplete as time expired.
