Johnson and Brustmeyer Selected to NAIA All-Freshman Team
Waleska, GA - The Reinhardt Eagles Flag Football team finished their regular season games in April with three wins recorded in their first season. It took a few games for the mostly freshman team to figure things out, but they started getting an understanding of how the sport was played at the college level and started making plays. A few players emerged as stars of the team and two of those were wide receiver Nina Johnson and linebacker Adriana Brustmeyer.
Johnson started showing signs of being the "go-to" receiver for the Eagles as she would score several touchdowns throughout the season. Brustmeyer made her impact right away being the primary stopper on defense pulling flags when the Eagles needed it.
Both of these players made the NAIA All-Freshman Team for the 2023 season.
These two players along with several others on the team will be the base that Coach Fuller will build on for the future.
The team will play in the NAIA Final Tournament on May 18th at 10 am at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. The tournament is a double-elimination tournament.
Congratulations to Nina, Adriana, and the RU Women's Flag Football on the growth and success of your first season!
