Game report for Gold vs. Maroon:
The 2011 RIPUL season was off to a great start last night, and the game between Gold and Maroon proved to be a nail biter. Teams traded points for a while, but Gold pulled ahead by the end of the first half, 9-6. Maroon came out of half firing and tightened the gap, and teams traded points again for the rest of the game. Tied at 15s and darkness looming, captains agreed to a hard cap, so avoid having to play in the dark. Maroon went up 16-15, and then Gold played patient O with a clutch score from Nick Jouett. On universe point, there were several turnovers from both sides, as teams desperately wanted to end the game. In the end, Maroon scored the final point on a deep throw to Ariel Shaw, 17-16 Maroon. Matt Stein's cheer, seen below, captured the game completely, and Maroon had a singalong to Kayne West's 'Gold Digger"
"In sticky air and clumpy grass
And many points on the long pass
And universe in not yet June
A classic game gold and maroon"
