Last
Saturday, your Judges met Konya Selçuk University on the Bilkent football field. Since
both teams started the season with defeats, this was a pressure packed game. The Judges
lost the last outing due to failures in defense, so they tried to take control from the
get go, knowing that winning meant being a step closer to the first two places to qualify
for the next round. By the half time whistle, the game was at a 0-0 draw, with both teams
struggling with their offense.
 In the third quarter, growing tensions
led to a Selçuk player being disqualified, which brought cheers from the crowd. The
Judges were having trouble getting into the positions they needed in order to score, but
fueled by the ref's call, and the fan excitement, the team got all fired up. They scored a
touchdown and a two-point conversation to lead 8-0. They secured the game in defense in
the last minutes to claim their first victory!
Although the Judges won convincingly, seats in the stadium were still pretty empty.
Support in the third quarter showed how essential fans are to success. In order to build
up winning streaks for this passionate team and bring the league cup home, everyone in the
Bilkent community is encouraged to come out and sing for their team! The Judges can smell
the finals. They just have to beat Ankara University in the first weekend in December.
Come to the field, support your team, feel the excitement, and push the Judges to the top.
