Cardinals Win Game

In-depth football coverage, pages 12-13

VOL. 110, NO. 2 August 2009 L GOS www.uiw.edu/logos Cardinals win game By Annette Marroquin LOGOS STAFF WRITER More than 6,000 people in and outside Benson Stadium watched the University of the Incarnate Word win its first-ever football game Saturday, Aug. 29, beating Monterrey Tech 42-39. While the Cardinals battled on the field, the cheerleaders, dance team and UIW’s new band did their best to keep the fans pumped up. The overflow of people was astonishing and unexpected. The stands were crowded with people and more stood along the outside fence looking in. The announcer had to ask people to move out of the aisles because of safety regulations. “Who knew there was going to be this much people here,” senior Raul Benavides said.
