CAPTAIN'S GUIDE REMINDERS
Team captains and participants should frequently review the team captain's guide for all eligibility rules and regulations that govern Intramural play.

So far this semester, Intramural Sports has had to forfeit multiple teams for the use of ineligible players. The most frequent being for players participating on multiple teams in the same sport (without a proper team change procedure being followed) or players not currently enrolled in classes who have participated. If you have any questions on your eligibility, or on those of a team you are captain for, please check with the Intramural Sports Office prior to allowing  them to participate. Ignorance is not an excuse, and there is no flexibility in our application of the captain's guide policies.

The summer of disappointment continued for France, as they chalked up their second soccer title match loss in as many weeks. Togo, the tiny African nation represented by a gritty Intramural Coed Soccer team took down the 2006 IM Cup by defeating France, 7-5.

Jaime Planells won the Golden Boot award with his 5 goal performance, including the clincher past French goalkeeper Ernest Lance in the 34th minute. Adham Rashwan chimed in with two more goals for Togo on the night. France advanced to the final earlier in the night with a 1-0 win over India, and Togo got by Zimbabwe 6-3 in the other semifinal.

UCF AT THE NATIONAL TOURNAMENT

UCF was represented at the national flag football tournament this year by three teams and two officials. Kappa Delta found themselves shorthanded due to illness of some players and still managed to hang close for two games, but went down in both. They still were able to score 3 touchdowns with only 5 players but fell to two top teams. UCF's Co-Rec team was brand new to the tournament after last year's national championship team did not return to the event. After falling in pool play by one touchdown, they lost in the first round of the playoffs to Tarleton State University, the eventual national champion. In the Men's Division, the Showstoppers had a tough first round game as they took on past national champion Southern University. In a back and forth game, the Showstoppers lost by only 6 points in the last minute of the game. They took out their frustration on Murray State in their next game, winning by over 50 points. In the first round of the playoffs the Showstoppers knocked off C-USA rival UAB, but unfortunately their run ended in the second round after losing to North Texas. Josh Weaver, defensive specialist, was named a second team all american on defense!


As for the officials, Intramural Supervisors Michael Boman and Marissa Dienstag worked at the tournament and both did a great job. Boman officiated the Men's Open Division Semi-Final game and Dienstag officiated the Men's Collegiate Semi-final game, and was on the crew for the Men's Championship game. Marissa was also named one of the top 20 officials at the tournament, earning all-american honors and becoming the 6th all-american official at UCF since 2001 and first female all-american official at UCF.

John Boyle punted his way with a 54 yard spiral to victory in that event. Michael LaManna launched a Culpepper-esque bomb 64 yards to edge Cody Hendrix in the pass competition. Cory Lambert showed worthy of kickoff duties for UCF with a 60 yard blast, but the overall winner of the night was Brandon Noel. Brandon didnt win any individual event, but his consistency paid off big.

Finally, there's a new dodgeball king at UCF. Nick Grande fought off tons of balls being thrown at him to be crowned the 2005 Dodgeball Eliminator champion. Congrats to all!

FLOOR HOCKEY FINALS DON'T DISAPPOINT

Gary Bettman had better thank the six teams who participated in the Intramural Floor Hockey finals on Thursday night for keeping the sport of hockey alive and well. All three games were Instant Classics, as ADPi, ATO, and the Usual Suspects all were victorious in thrilling fashion.

In the first game of the night, ADPi was fresh off a softball championship when they stepped into the rink to take on Dam Beavers. The Beavers would strike first in the 2nd period, but ADPi answered right back to tie the game at 1-1. After regulation wasn't enough to decide it, the game went into overtime. Dam Beavers felt sudden death as Christine Berry assisted and Lori Correnti put the biscuit in the basket to win the game 2-1 in thrilling OT fashion.

The best game of the night was the Rec Final, as ATO looked to avoid losing two championships in one day after falling in the softball finals only a few hours earlier to Kirks Jerks. Their opponent, Pooper, looked to be the better team early in the game as they scored two quick goals on ATO to take a 2-0 first period lead. Pooper would keep the pressure on as they went up 3-0 going into the final period on the strength of a hat trick by Alec Miller. ATO got some life as they got on board early in the 3rd period, as the momentum started to shift their way. A furious rally late in the 3rd saw ATO's Brian Rojas and Richard Hyland score to even the game up at 4-4. It looked as though the game would head into overtime, but Pooper scored with under a minute left to take a 5-4 lead. Miraculously, after a violation ATO got posession of the puck and scored with 10 seconds left in regulation to tie the game once again and send it to overtime. In the bonus session, ATO's Brian Rojas took a blue line slap shot that snuck past goalie Daniel Hansen that ended the game at 6-5.

In the Competitive final, the Usual Suspects returned to defend the title they won in 2004 as the Scandinavian Penetrators. The Suspects came into the game undefeated, after easily handling each of their opponents this season. Lambda Chi would not be intimidated, as they were clearly the class of the Fraternity Gold league this season. After the first period, it looked as though a rout was on as the Swedish Tandem of Johan Westin and Linus Luoisinen put Usual Suspects up 3-1. Lambda Chi was down 4-1 before furiously fighting back on the strength of the offense of Asher Blumenthal and Logan Berkowitz to take a 5-4 lead in the 3rd period. The defending champs would knot the game back up at 5 after sneaking a goal past Emerson Lotzia, and after a costly unsportsmanlike conduct penalty by Travis Ligon, Lambda Chi would have to play shorthanded for the rest of the game. The power play lead to 3 more goals for Usual Suspects, as they finished off Lambda chi 8-6.

SOFTBALL DRAMA

The 2005 Softball Season ended with a bang, as four teams won championships on a magnificent thursday afternoon. In the Women's final, Alpha Delta Pi won their 3rd straight title by holding off Alpha Xi, 18-12. ADPi had lead by as many as 15 runs before Alpha Xi began their comeback, but it would not be enough to overcome ADPi's huge lead. In the Rec "A" final, ATO lead Kirk's Jerks 9-4 before the Jerks stepped on the gas and plated 12 runs in the bottom of the 6th inning to take a 16-9 lead. Donnie Barnes' 2 run homerun over the right field fence was the key to the comeback, and Kirk's Jerks held ATO scoreless in the 7th to win by the 16-9 final. In Coed, the Wood Wackers are the new champions as they jumped out early on some erratic pitching by the Mighty Ducks and never looked back with a 12-2 victory. Finally, in the Recreation "B" game, Sigma Chi started fast against DTD and never let up winning 13-2. Congratulation to all the Kings and Queens of the Diamond.

FLAG FOOTBALL RESULTS

Nuk If You Buk, formerly known as Chix Squad, and Showstoppers both showed that it pays to have experience in 4 on 4 Flag Football as they each repeated as champions in the Women's and Competitive Divisions respectively.  The only new winner was Get Em Done who defeated defending Recreational Division Champs, FCA NFC, formerly known as FCA, 33-32.  Full Stories Coming Soon!

CIRCLE JERKS WIN WATER POLO


In the second year of the Innertube Water Polo, Circle Jerks dominated a very competitive field of "water jockeys" and rode their blue rubber horses to victory.  In the final game, Circle Jerks defeated Blazing Nuggets 6-3 in what Nelson Santiago called one of the two greatest IWP finals that he had ever seen here at UCF.  Congratulations to the best Innertube Water Jockeys in Orlando!

Congrats to the Ram Squad, Old School, and Git it Girlz for their 3 on 3 Basketball titles and Ball Smackers, Rams, Ace it, and Arnold's FUPA for their Volleyball titles last week. More Information provided on the sport page.


IM SPORTS' TOP PASSER

Take the legs of Fran Tarkenton, the arm strength of Vinny Testaverde, and the accuracy of Troy Aikman and what do you have? Right now, you'd have a really old quarterback. But in their primes, you would have the ideal passer. Thats what it took to win the first ever IM Sports Quarterback Challenge competition this past Saturday, and Ron Eubanks edged Anthony Albamonte on the final throw to take the title. Participants where judged on distance, accuracy, speed, and mobility.

LAMBDA CHI TAKES WIFFLEBALL

Lambda Chi did it like this, they did it like that, they did it with a wiffleball bat. Sigma Chi looked good as gold through much of the tournament, as they were undefeated in the winner’s bracket and advanced to the championship game.  Lambda Chi took the long road and lost to Sigma Chi in the semi final in the winner’s bracket.  Lambda Chi then advanced through the loser’s bracket and cleared the way into the championship to avenge their loss in the winner’s bracket.  Sigma Chi, only having to win one game, could not muster up enough power to overcome the big hitters of Lambda Chi.  Lambda Chi won back-to-back games in the championship series to take the title, finishing with a 7-1 tournament record.

IM OFFICIAL WORKS IN D-1

UCF Intramural Official and Supervisor Steve Anderson worked his first NCAA Division I Basketball game over the winter break. Steve worked the first round game of the UCF holiday tournament between Fordham and Charleston Southern at the UCF Arena. Former UCF official Eric Peterson worked the championship game of the same tournament, between Charleston Southern and Brown. Steve and Eric are two of the six current or former UCF students who work NCAA Division I basketball.

SIGMA CHI STUMPS PTP'ERS

2004 was a big year for Sigma Chi. They won a kickball title, they got to keep the Greek points trophy for another year, Destiny's Child got back together, and Sigma Chi Alum Drew Brees was named NFL comeback player of the year. Still, a loss to the Primetime Players in the 2004 Team Sports Trivia competition has haunted team captain Matt Oberlender. After a year of training and lots of TiVo'ing sportscenter, Matt's team took on the human sports Almanac, Victor Anderson, and squeeked out a close victory on the final question to win the 2005 team title.
 

55 ELIMINATED, ONE WINNER


In a field of 56 competitors, Brad Epstein came away as the first Intramural Champion of 2005. "You have to be able to move quickly and make yourself as small as possible," stated Brad Epstein referring to his training regiment that included him spending 8 hours a day inside of a 2' by 3' box that only had holes big enough for air.  We wouldn't recommend such an extreme training method, but it did help him to defeat competition that included such big named throwers as Randy Johnson.  If you were one of the 55 eliminated by the self-proclaimed "Human Gazelle" then don't forget to sign up for the Dodgeball League which starts next Friday. 

UCF WINS NATIONAL FLAG FOOTBALL TITLE!

BASEBALL FINALS

After the big BALCO scandal, who knew that baseball could still be entertaining without the steroids?  Both baseball finals were slugfests as Curved Balls beat Maulers 8-3 in the recreational finals and Pimp Juice beat Ballz Out 13-7 to take home the competitive crown. 

6 CHAMPS, 1 DAY

In one of the biggest championship days in UCF Intramural Sports history, Three championships were played in both flag football and basketball.  Flag football had some old and new faces as Showstoppers avenged last year's loss, and Nightmares broke through in 7 on 7 for the first time ever. 
Basketball was filled with decisive wins and some clutch shooting as three new champs were determined in that sport as well. 

ALL-TOURNAMENT HONORS FOR OFFICIAL

UCF official Doug Marcello earned a bid to officiate at the National Flag Football Tournament in New Orleans after being named as one of 4 all-tournament officials at the Western Kentucky University "Battle of the Bluegrass" Regional Tournament in Bowling Green, Kentucky.

UCF WINS UWF REGIONAL TITLE


UCF's Co-Rec Flag Football team, the UCF Knights, went undefeated this weekend in Pensacola to win the ACIC Regional Flag Football tournament. The win gave them an automatic bid to the National Flag Football tournament and helped them establish themselves as one of the favorites to win the National Tournament. UCF went 2-0 in pool play, then beat the two-time national champion team from UF 18-9 in the semi-finals. They faced UL-Monroe in the title game and after trailing 16-10, scored the final two times including James Panui's game saving INT return for a TD, to win 25-16. Panui and Quarterback Mike Ruggieri were named to the first team all-tournament squad, and Reneisha Brown-Lewis was named tournament MVP. UCF's officials also fared well, as Intramural Supervisors Jason Human and Michael Boman were selected to officiate the Men's Championship game between FSU and Pensacola Junior College.

MOORE WINS TABLE TOP FOOTBALL

Adrian Moore is the best paper football player at UCF. And we think he plays a mean game of "pencil-break", but we wont know that until we have that tournament. Adrian out-flicked 13 other competitors last friday afternoon by winning the inauguaral event. Adrian ran threw the round robin with no losses, and defeated long-time rival Dan Franklin in the championship.

UCF TEAM REACHES SWAMP BOWL QUARTERFINALS


The Franchise enjoyed Ron Zook's last weekend as coach at the University of Florida by going an impressive 3-1 in the Swamp Bowl Flag Football tournament, finishing in a tie for 5th overall.

COREC FLAG FOOTBALL RE-PEAT

Last year's national runner-up, Dix-n-Chix, will return to the national tournament after romping through the hurricane-delayed tournament.

Dix-n-Chix outscored their three opponents 144-0 in the two-day event. They were lead by returning national All-American player James Panui and last year's female national tournament MVP, Julie Hartley.

MONEY SHOT CRUISES TO GOLF TITLE

Patrick Hoffman, Chad Schilsky, Chandler Petit, and Rich Zavada shot a blistering 59 to win the 4 Person Golf Scramble held at Twin Rivers Golf Club. That crew snuck by the Purple Headed Yogurt Slingers who shot a 61 and finished in second. Jacob Anders won the longest Drive and Chris Brown took the closest to the pin.

VICTOR ADDS ANOTHER TITLE


A pesky group of challengers pushed him to the limit, but Victor Anderson's knowledge of the NFL draft helped him fend off Shannon Sullivan, Mike Rappaport, Matt Gary, and others to win the 2004 Individual Sports Trivia title. Sullivan finished second in one of the closest battles in recent history. Victor will attempt to defend his team title in the spring, on the January 14th event. You have over 3 months to study!
 

SPRING SEMESTER COMES TO A CLOSE WITH NEW CHAMPS

SUPERVISORS BEAT REFS TO WRAP UP SEMESTER

The refs aren't blind, but they sure aren't seeing straight  after the intramural supervisors roared back from a 6 point halftime deficit to defeat the intramural basketball officials 48-43 in the annual grudge match. "Supervisor-in-Training" Vladimir Voyard-Todal flashed the skills that made him a star at Apopka in scoring 25 points to lead the field. Ray "Bling Bling" Acosta lead the refs with 20, including several clutch second half shots. It wasn't enough, as "Smooth" Sam Mayhew played tough defense in the win, which he will have to get used to as he is getting married this weekend. Good luck to Sam and congratulations to the supervisors. Have a great break everyone and don't forget to get your dodgeball and 3 on 3 basketball teams together!

BASEBALL FINALS

            Defending Competitive League Champion, The Bandits, squared off against the undefeated KBC in the Competitive League baseball finals last Thursday night.   KBC’s Sergio Figueroa, former Bandit himself, dominated his former teammates going 3 for 3, with 2 HRs and 6 RBIs.  The Bandits fell to KBC for the second time this season, 8-0.

Congrats to all.

NEW NAMES, SAME RESULTS IN COMP AND WOMEN'S FINAL; PIKE IS NEW CHAMP IN REC

Does this sound familiar? Matt Malloy throws for a TD and Phil Berk returns a punt 70 yards en route to a 19-14 Light em Up win over the Show Stoppers. Or how about Kim Freed tossing two touchdowns to different receivers as Chix Squad beats ADP 12-7. Both quarterbacks lead new teams to their 3rd consecutive intramural flag football championship. Brian Fischer had two touchdowns for Pike to lead them over Campus Crusade 22-12.


LOPEZ WINS TRIVIA, AGAIN

It turns out Eric Lopez is the brains of the operation.
