As the season unfolds, we’ll see which teams will continue to [email protected] earn these victories and which teams might need another gift from the Recreation Center.

On Sept. 23, all 10 teams went head to head in the fraternity flag football league. Despite only being the first week of action, the games were played with a level of competitiveness that made each game feel like the playoffs were just around the corner. Alpha Epsilon Pi brought this competitive edge to the field on Tuesday night and held Lambda Chi Alpha scoreless, defeating them 31-0. This victory improved their record to 2-0 and earned them first place in the league, ahead of four other undefeated teams, including Divine 9. Divine 9 also kept their winning streak alive by defeating Theta Chi 19-0. Divine 9 is composed of nine multicultural fraternity students who have established themselves, so far, as one of the teams to beat. Another strong team that has emerged is Beta Theta Pi, who defeated Zeta Beta Tau 20-6 on Tuesday night. The 2-0 start for Beta Theta Pi, with their first win coming against Sigma Alpha Mu, has already shown the league that they have improved overall from a disappointing season last year. “I was very proud of how the team played, but saw that we still have a long way to go and more things to improve on,” said junior Kristian Ruiz. As captain and quarterback, Ruiz and the team are working on improving on both the offen- sive and defensive ends of the field and preparing themselves for the other competitive teams they are set to face. Pi Kappa Phi defeated Sigma Alpha Mu 13-2. This victory kept them on the list of undefeated teams heading into the third week. Senior Fernando Trillo said, “Pi Kappa Phi this year has a lot of talent and we are looking to go all the way. We put in a great effort this summer in order to make sure we were ready and we were.” Trillo plays both receiver and safety.

In one of the final games of the night, Sigma Phi Epsilon defeated Tau Kappa Epsilon 18-0. Gabriel Soomar/The Beacon Sigma Phi Epsilon advanced to an undefeated record of 2-0, while, on the other side of the field, Zeta Beta Tau brother instructs his blockers to evade Beta Theta Pi players. Despite his Tau Kappa Epsilon was handed its first loss of the season. efforts, Beta Theta Pi won against Zeta Beta Tau.
