In a first-week intramural flag football match-up, Alpha Chi Omega defeated Delta Gamma 21-0.

Alpha Chi Omega dominated the game with a powerful running attack, led by quarterback Jane Barnard, Omaha junior. Barnard scored two touchdowns on the ground and threw for another.

“We all just like to come out and have a good time. But if we can win that’s even better,” Barnard said.

Alpha Chi Omega scored first before halftime thanks to a 30-yard scramble by Barnard.

As the second half started, the Delta Gamma defense focused on not letting Barnard get away from them. The defense recorded four sacks in the half, with Ashley Frankian, Overland Park freshman, leading the charge with two. But somehow Barnard still managed to make her way into the end zone mid-way into the second half.

Then, with about two minutes remaining, Alpha Chi Omega tacked on one more score when Barnard connected with Alicia Ring, Marysville freshman, for the game’s only passing touchdown.

Having missed their two attempts at the two-point conversion, Alpha Chi Omega opted to go for the three-point conversion and got it, making the score 21-0.

The difference in this game might have been experience. Delta Gamma played mostly freshman while Alpha Chi Omega’s players were mainly sophomores and juniors. But Delta Gamma captain Ariel Abrams, Mendota Heights, Minn., freshman, is not making any excuses.

“We are all still working, and we have a really great attitude,” she said.
