Siegfried's Jen Laurie hit Eilzabeth Plummer for a Gold touchdown, but back Wendy Mores. that we got the touchdown at turnovers and tough defenses led to a 6-6 draw of the All-Star contest. The Gold squad, determined to avenge last year's 21-14loss, charged out of the gates in a hurry, using trickery and de­ ception to build a 6-0 advan­ tage before the Blue division knew what hit them. On their first offensive play of the game, Gold Elizabeth Plummer handed the ball off to tailback Charo Gonzalez as if they were con­ tent with opening up the game on the ground. However. Gonzalez handed the ball off to backup quarter­ back Jen Laurie, and Laurie found Plummer streaking uncontested to the end zone. After receiving the well-thrown pass. Plummer scampered the final 10 yards for the touch­ down and a 6-0 lead. "It was a play that we worked on in practice and wanted to try out first thing," said Plummer. "I knew it was a good play, but I didn't know it would work as well as it did." With fans and players alike thinking that the offenses would dominate for the second straight year, the two. defenses took control of the game. The score stood at 6-0 until a costly Gold turnover late in the first half turned the tide.
