The Gold squad, determined to avenge last year’s 21-14 loss, 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 quarterback 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.
