KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Warner (Fla.) and The Sun Conference continued their dominant run on 2026 NAIA Women's Flag Football Players of the Week, as Warner quarterback Kathryn Hutchinson claimed the April 7 offensive nod, and O'Mariah Gordon continued to anchor a historic run for the Royals' defense. 

For both players, Tuesday's award was their second of the season, and Warner remains the only team in 2026 to collect both awards in the same week, accomplishing the feat March 3, March 17, and now April 7. Hutchinson was part of the March 3 sweep with her first offensive honor of the season, while Gordon was the defensive honoree a week later. Warner now has seven of the 14 possible awards this year, while The Sun Conference is responsible for 10 of those 14.

The Sun also kept a string of consecutive defensive awards intact with Gordon's April 7 honor, as the conference has now claimed all seven NAIA Defensive Players of the Week in 2026.

Hutchinson and Gordon played pivotal roles in the Royals' outscoring of two conference opponents 120-7 last week. 

Gordon produced a nearly unmatched defensive performance, recording five flag pulls, seven interceptions, and a pass breakup. She set a single-game Warner record with five interceptions in a 73-0 win over Florida Memorial, and two days earlier, she picked off two St. Thomas (Fla.) passes and recorded four of her five flag pulls on the week. She also recorded her lone pass breakup against STU. 

Meanwhile, on the offensive side, Hutchinson engineered an offense that rolled up 120 points in two games, completing 63-of-79 passing, nearly 80 percent, for 614 yards and 15 touchdowns. She opened the week by completing 32 passes for 253 yards and five scores against St. Thomas, and then, things got historic. 

Hutchinson was 31-of-38 for 361 yards against Florida Memorial, tossing 10 touchdown passes, adding a rushing long of 14 yards.

Now 16-0 in 2026, the Royals have two games left on their regular-season slate, both this week. Tuesday, Warner travels to Webber International (Fla.), and Saturday, it's a game with serious implications on The Sun Conference regular-season championship, when the Royals host Keiser (Fla.).
