As students begin to settle back into their academic routines, we also see many rising intramural stars coming into the spotlight. The ever-popular spring intramural season began this past Sunday with the first of many broomball games. The broomball tournament proves to be an exciting one, with four regular season games taking place this past Sunday. The first of many games saw victories for MUDBEAST.NET, who conquered the Big Broomball Club with a score of 2-0 in the co-rec division. In a nail-biter in the men’s competitive division, Sweeping the nation and Roll Tide Pods fought hard with a final game score of 3-2, with the victory handed to the Roll Tide Pods. In the final two games of the night, all four teams finished of scores of 1-0. The METARDs took the victory against the OFC, while the Shrimp Fondlers won handily against Hit It and Quit It.

Basketball games have also gotten underway, with the first games of the season starting this past Monday. All of the games were a part of the men’s competitive tournament, but all came with varying scores and levels of excitement. The Silent Apes went up against Tigers in the Jungle in the first game of the night, which saw Tigers in the Jungle picking up a win with a final score of 66-29. Next came Triumphant Vainly and Drain 3’s, which saw a closer game, but ended with Triumphant Vainly claiming the victory with a final score of 78-53.

The final game of the night proved to be the most exciting with a final score of 51-49. 808s & Fastbreaks and the bartons fought hard to the bitter end, but the bartons ended up being victorious.

In the coming weeks, we see the beginnings of the indoor soccer league, handball, volleyball and many others. Also coming up, the ski and snowboard trip and the Valentine’s Open Skate, which are both on Feb. 10. Looks to be a very exciting semester here at Campus Recreation.
