Thursday, November 3, the Brick House officially closed the book on the 2004-2005 Men's University Flag Football Championship with their 41-28 win over Kappa Alpha.
The team, named after the house that most of the members live in, had only one loss this season when they fell 13-7 to the Dawg Pound during the regular season.
During the flag football tournament, the team downed the Mercenaries Tuesday night. They then went after GDI Wednesday night, dominating them in a game whose 33-6 final score belied how close the game really was.
"The score is not indicative of what the game was like," said Brad Deaver, captain for the Brick House as his teammates Justin Griffin and Cory George chimed in with tales of how close GDI came to scoring several times.
Thursday night, they played what Deaver called the "toughest game we played all year" against Kappa Alpha, the Fraternity Conference Flag Football Champions.
During the game, the two teams exchanged touchdowns, coming into the fourth quarter tied at 28.
From that point on, it was all Brick House. They put up 13 more points in the last quarter, sealing their first Men's University Flag Football Championship win.
"We played every year and lost in the championship," said Deavers. "We changed our name to Brick House and got over the hump."
Their opponents in the Men's University Championship game, Kappa Alpha, defeated Pi Kappa Phi on Wednesday night for the Fraternity Conference Championship. It was the first time in two years that Pi Kappa Phi had lost the championship.
The game came down to a very close overtime. Pi Kappa Phi took a turn on offense first, scoring a touchdown, but missing the extra point. Kappa Alpha answered with a touchdown of their own and the conversion for a final score of 20-19.
"No one expected us to win," said Kappa Alpha Captain Jake Walker of the game Wednesday.
In the Sorority Conference Championship, Alpha Xi Delta shut-out Zeta Tau Alpha 12-0. It was the second year for the Zetas to be shut out in the championship game.
Amy Walker threw two touchdown passes during the game, the last with only 6:26 left in the game.
Thursday, Alpha Xi Delta was supposed to play the Locos from Campus Outreach, but never arrived for the game.
"We think they got scared," said Mallory Shadrick, captain of the Locos. "We beat them pretty bad during the regular season, but they had a pretty good team when they played Zeta."
The forfeit by Alpha Xi Delta automatically gave the Locos the Women's University Flag Football Championship. Quite a feat for a team playing their first semester of flag football.
"I think we just pulled together as a team and just played smart," said Shadrick.
