After weeks of fierce competition, intramural soccer has come to a close, leaving two more teams recognized as champions. Fortunately, when one league comes to an end, new ones begin. Broomball, floor hockey and basketball are in full swing, with many teams already putting up some big scores.
The final games of the co-rec competitive and men’s competitive soccer leagues lived up to their expectations. The top two teams from each league squared off, came to play and looked to go home with a t-shirt. Starting things off in the co-rec competitive leagues, Off Sliders’ and ChurchGroup PutinBallAway prepared to go head-to-head in the championship. Off Sliders started the game off strong, scoring two goals in the first half.
After taking multiple shots on goal, ChurchGroup PutinBallAway could not score a goal, making the score 2-0 at halftime.
In the second half, Off Sliders picked up right where they left off early in the game, coming out and scoring two more unanswered goals, winning the game 4-0 and taking home the intramural championship t-shirts.
In the finals, for the men’s competitive league, Petr Chec Yourself took on Multiple Scorasms. Both teams started off strong, but a late first-half goal from Jake Healy made the score 1-0 for Petr Chec Yourself going into halftime. After words of encouragement from both coaches, the game continued, but alas, only one could come out on top. After scoring two more unanswered goals, Petr Chec Yourself took home the championship title.
Next to flag football, broomball is hailed as one of the most anticipated intramural sports of the semester. Over 40 teams between three leagues puts broomball as one of the most popular intramural sports. With that many teams, it is hard to find any game that is not worth mentioning.
On opening night, the highest scoring and most interesting game of the night goes to the Muff Divers taking on The Shooters in the men’s recreational league. Though Muff Divers took the game 12-1, both teams had great sportsmanship despite a few nasty falls, since the games are played on ice.
The 5v5 basketball leagues tipped-off this semester, bringing out some great competition in the first week of play. In the men’s recreation league, Tune Squad and Shooters Shoot squared off and the game was filled with big plays and an even bigger comeback. Tune Squad seemed to have the whole game in the bag until the last quarter of play. Shooters Shoot just kept on shooting and brought the game into their control, coming out on top 70-64.
