Campus Recreation Report

The outdoor soccer, flag football and softball leagues are all underway for Campus Recreation at Oswego State.

The outdoor soccer league is in full swing with teams vying for the championship T-shirts.  In the co-rec competitive division, NARP Life has come out sharp with a 2-0 record so far, with all team members contributing to their success.  Taking down the heat a bit, but certainly not the commitment, The Ambassadors have been working as a team while nine different players have scored to contribute to their undefeated record of 2-0.

Men’s competitive soccer brought nothing but goals in the first week of play.  It came down to the last minute of play for Team Phoenix, who scored to break the tie and move their record on the year to 1-0-1.

Week two of softball showed some serious hitting skills, especially from Brokebat Mountain, scoring 19 runs and defeating their opponents in the first game of the co-rec season.

The competition heated up in the men’s competitive softball division with The Bueller Boys beating the Los Angeles Riots 4-3 after a late comeback last Sunday afternoon. Car Ramrod, Harambe’s Disciples and ZBT had some solid defensive and offensive plays on the softball diamond.  Car Ramrod saw some action with numerous hits from seven different players throughout their lineup.

After the intense first weekend battles in the men’s competitive flag football league, four teams walked away with an opening day win and a 1-0 record. 

Team Phoenix, Oswego96ers and Harambe’s Angels all played great team defense that led to  dominating shut out wins against their opponents. There were some hard fought wins in the men’s recreation division as well with Sweetpea defeating Harambe’s Tribute Band, 28-6, and Legion of Zoom beating ZBT in a high-scoring affair, 40-23.

Come out to Lee and Swetman fields this weekend to watch your favorite teams play as all leagues move into the closing weeks for the first season of intramural sports.
