It is playoff season here at Campus Recreation. The outdoor leagues are starting to wind down with some of our most competitive games yet. Teams are fighting for their place in the championship and for the coveted Intramural Champion T-shirt. This is the final week of competitive play for the first round of intramural leagues, with the final games on both Friday and Saturday this weekend.
CoRec recreational soccer has its championship game on Friday, Oct. 12 at 3:30 p.m. at Lee Field. With many exciting games this week, this will be one to watch. Despite getting out to an early start with a victory against Rooney Toons (3-0), 2 Goals 1 Cup fell to Lets Get Messi in a close game of 1-0. With that loss, 2 Goals 1 Cup was eliminated from the playoffs, and Lets Get Messi secured a spot in the final game. Playing them in the finals will be Kick my Balls, who secured their spot after a 5-1 victory against Off Sliders II (5-1). Kick My Balls and Lets Get Messi have been first and second in the league all season, with matching records of 4-1 over the course of the soccer season, creating a fiery match-up for the CoRec recreational finals.
In the men’s competitive league, the championship game will be played on Friday, Oct. 12 at 4:30 p.m. at Lee Field. Scrambled Legz have already secured their spot in the finals with two wins this past week. Their first win to advance to the semi-finals was against Real Saucy in a final score of 2-0. The win that landed them in the finals was their victory over 1926ers in the same final score of 2-0. On the other side of the bracket, Tequila Mockingbird and Oxford United battled for the spot opposite Scrambled Legz. The match ended after one round of penalty kick with Tequila Mockingbird defeating Oxford United 3-2. Tequila Mockingbird will face Scrambled Legz in the championship game.
The flag football league will also be ending this upcoming weekend. Our men’s recreational champion was crowned this past Saturday. After a hard double-header on Friday against the Shanghai Warriors (27-25) and Krispy tenders (21-20), the Hell hounds forfeited to Sheesh! on Saturday afternoon, allowing Sheesh! to play in the men’s competitive semi-finals. Sheesh! captured their final victory by defeating E (31-12). With Krispy tenders, E and Sheesh! all being tied for first the entire season, it is safe to say that the playoffs will be entertaining.
With the championship game in the Men’s Competitive 7v7 on Saturday, Oct. 13 at 3:30p.m. on Lee Field, teams appeared fierce during the final week before the final game. Townies have had a lucky break this playoff season, as they have advanced to the semi-finals through two forfeits. Now in the semi-finals, their matchup with FumbleThis is long-awaited. The game will be right before the championships at 2:00 p.m. on Oct. 13 at Swetman Field. The other position in the championship game will be filled by either our men’s recreational champion. The games are bound to be exciting, as both semi-final games are played right before the championship.
We had one final softball game this past weekend. In one of the most competitive softball games to date, in the men’s competitive league, The Lakeside Commonfolk took home the coveted shirts with a 14-13 victory in the championship game to The Bueller Boys.
Championship season is upon us, and with three champions already crowned, Campus Recreation cannot wait to celebrate the final victors as they emerge this coming week.
