2009 NCCS Regional Flag Football Tournament Hosted by Springfield College

From October 23-25, Springfield College hosted the National Campus Championship Series (NCCS) Regional Flag Football Tournament. We were one of eight regional tournaments in the country and the only College to host an event. Eighteen teams from Quinnipiac, Franklin Pierce, Assumption, Westfield State, Adelphi, Suny-Delhi, UMass-Amherst, Providence College, Southern Connecticut State University, the University of Vermont, American International College (three teams), Central Connecticut State University, Boston College, and Springfield College (three teams) converged on Schmid Field for a bid to the NCSS National Championship Flag Football Tournament at the University of South Florida in Tampa, January 3-5, 2010.

After competing within pool play, twelve teams were left to compete in a single elimination playoff. Three of those twelve teams were Springfield College teams. Ghost Face from Springfield College defeated Central Connecticut State University 34-6 in the championship game, thus earning a bid to compete at the NCSS National Championship.

The tournament committee members and student officials came from as far away as UCLA and involved institutions such as North Carolina State University, the University of Maryland, the University of Connecticut, the University of Massachusetts, Quinnipiac University, Providence College, and the University of Rhode Island. Staff and students alike raved about Springfield’s facilities, food, and hospitality in hosting an excellent and successful tournament.
