Rockford Regents to compete in first women’s collegiate flag football game in Illinois
ROCKFORD, Ill. (WIFR) – Rockford University will make history as one of the first schools in Illinois to play in a women’s collegiate flag football game.
The game will kick off at 6:15 p.m. Saturday, March 8 at the Walter Payton Center, 1920 Football Dr., Lake Forest.
March 8 is also International Women’s Day and the game marks a significant milestone for women and girls in sports in Illinois.
