During the intramural sorority flag football games, Phi Mu matched up with Sigma Kappa. Behind a noisy crowd, Phi Mu took advantage of the miscues and penalties that plagued Sigma Kappa throughout the whole night, defeating them 2-0 on Sept. 19.
Phi Mu’s chances to score early were stung, as Sigma Kappa’s defense played well. But eventually, Phi Mu broke through and put points on the scoreboard when a safety was recorded.
Sigma Kappa, who is still looking for their first win, played competitive, but Phi Mu played smarter. Phi Mu’s game plan was to try and contain the speed of Sigma Kappa with their defense, and it succeeded.
“That’s better than what we were hoping for,” said Valentina Usquiano. “We all did a great job, we tried our best on the field. We had fun doing it”.
This win leaves Phi Mu at an even .500 record of 1-1.
Alpha Omicron 12, Boss 12
The landscape was set Monday night, when Alpha Omicron Pi’s sorority flag football team squared off against Boss. Alpha Omicron Pi’s defense was very resilient, forcing huge turnovers late in the game, including a late interception return that made the final score end in a 12-12 tie.
Field position turned out to play a big role in the game. Returns from both sides were important factors, since each team struggled to constantly move the football against each other’s defense.
Kimberly Jeacoma, who was the defensive starlet for Alpha Omicron Pi, helped secure the tie after a late interception during the game’s closing minutes.
Even though Alpha Omicron Pi did not lose and is now third place in the standings with a 1-0-1 record, and we can see Jeacoma’s competitive streak, which helped propel the defense during the game.
“It feels just as bad as losing, honestly, because it’s not a win. So I’m not happy about it,” Jeacoma said. “Honestly, I’m a winner and if you’re not first, you’re last.”
With tenacity such as this, it may be a while before we see a loss come from Alpha Omicron Pi, as they play the winless Sigma Kappa next game.
