Kappa Sigma brings home title
3.10.08 - Four months after winning the Intramural Football title, a championship was again on the line, this time on the hardwood.
Entering the tournament as the #1 seed, Kappa Sigma received a first round bye before facing Sigma Nu in the semi-finals. Kappa Sig made short work of their opponent, whom they had already defeated 2 times in the regular season. In the other semi-final, Acacia needed overtime to defeat Pi Kappa Alpha, which set the stage for a rematch of the football championship.
The two teams met in Hamilton Field House with the title and bragging rights on the line, after splitting their two regular season matchups. In their win over Kappa Sigma early in the season their size in the post was the difference for Acacia.
During the first half, the two teams battled back and forth with neither team able to take a substantial lead. Defense was the key, as Kappa Sigma's athletic front line was able to frustrate Acacia's post players.
In the second half, the defense continued creating turnovers to lead to easy offensive buckets. This ignited an offensive firestorm and a Kappa Sigma lead that grew into double digits. In the face of adversity, and with a loud Kappa Sigma cheering section in their ear, Acacia soon ran out of gas and was unable to chip into the 20+ point lead. As the final buzzer sounded, Kappa Sigma celebrated another title and saw their lead in the all-school standings grow.
Congrats to the team! AEKDB -KJ
