DODGE THE BALL, NOT THE BOOKS — ACC student(s) can come out to Austin Sports Arena to play Co-ed Dodgeball with other dodgeball enthusiasts.

With spring break over and classes back in session, students involved in Student Life's Intramural Sports and Recreation program met on March 21 to compete in a wide variety of sports.

Students participated at two different locations: the Austin Sports Arena for co-ed floorball, soccer, and dodgeball and at South Austin SoccerZone for women's basketball and men's soccer games.

Women's soccer started the night off with a close game between the Gunners and FC Austin with FC Austin squeezing out a close win at 6-5. The next game saw teams Sting and Phoenix play just as close as FC Austin and the Gunners did.

It was a back and forth game, but team Sting edged out the Phoenix 7-6.

After women's soccer, women's basketball began. Teams Storm and Sparks battled it out and flew by quickly. Storm came out with an impressive 59-41 win over the Sparks.

Game two of the evening took place between Storm and the Silver Stars. Storm stayed hot and ended the night without losing, defeating the Silver Stars 75-61.

Men's soccer ended the evening for the intramural sports and recreation games.

In the first of four games RevUnited and the Football Players went on a scoring rampage. The Football Players came out on top, winning 12-9 in a back and forth thriller.

The scoring stayed hot and the Gold Nuggets defeated the Gray Goalies 17-15 in the next game.

With a full night of soccer still to go, the next game saw The Primos and the Black Bombers duel it out with the Black Bombers coming out victorious, winning 14-13 in the closest game of the evening. The final game of the night was a match between Green Machines and the Red Raiders.

The Red Raiders barely escaped with a 13-12 victory over the Green Machines.

More sports and intramural games are scheduled and the season will end with elimination style tournaments for women's volleyball on April 2 and men's basketball on April 9.
