INTRAMURAL:Douthart plays every sport

nive women took the floor with sticks for the face-off. For many, this season is their first time playing floor hockey.
"I think we play in all of the intramural sports, every season," said Amber Otto, Spring Hill sophomore. "It's sometimes hard to get enough women every week, but we have our regulars who are always there."
For some of the girls, it gives them a opportunity to try something they wouldn't ordinarily be exposed to.
"I really enjoy this sport. I like that we're doing just a women's team and that it's aggressive," said Suzette Runyan, Vassar sophomore. "I like the fact that there can be a little contact and we're not going to get in trouble. Floor hockey is my favorite intramural sport now."
Both teams took the time to warm up, but once the action began, it was hard to keep up. Alpha Gamma Shinipad showed its teamwork from the beginning, taking an early lead in the first period.
Douthart's Runyan answered with a goal in the middle of the period, but Douthart couldn't produce offensively.
Natalie Hoogveld, Calgary, Alberta graduate student, shot the ball in at the buzzer to give Alpha Gamma Shinpad a 4-1 lead at the end of the first

Instead of the usual one-one battle often seen in intramural games, the six girls of Alpha Gamma Shinpad used multiple passes, teamwork and a lot of running to score.
period.
Douthart scored at the beginning of the third period, but was unable to make a comeback. Alpha Gamma Shinpad eventually won, 13-2.
In the second period, Alpha Gamma Shinpad dominated completely, extending its lead to 9-1 at the end of the second period.
Every Alpha Gamma Shinpad team member, except goalie Gonzalez, scored.
Now that the regular season is over, Douthart's goal is to improve as a team for the playoffs.

"It's kind of interesting, but we're getting a lot better at working together and getting everyone a breather every now and then," Runyan said. "We're hoping to have some time to practice and working on passing and positioning players so we can do well in the playoffs. We just come out here to have fun."
Kansas will play with the rules to gain experience in case those regulations are implemented next season.

That's because the Rams have failed to capitalize on one of the biggest comebacks of the season in the NFL, a game $SI.com$ calls the best of the first half of the season. After beating the Bucs to go 4-2, they've followed up with losses to the previously winless Dolphins and the wounded Patriots, who had neither of their starting cornerbacks before beating St. Louis 40-22.
Rams' late victory rescues potential losing season
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. LOUIS — A month ago, the St. Louis Rams scored 17 points in the final 5 1/2 minutes of regulation and then beat the Seattle Seahawks in overtime to rescue what appeared to be a hopelessly lost game.
To coach Mike Martz, it's not the losses but the way they've lost that's been the most galling. Martz called his team out twice during the buildup to Sunday's game, saying he was tired of making excuses and that it was time for the players to step up.
"Certainly, this week we've got to get out of this little rut we're in," quarterback Marc Bulger said. "If we can get back on a roll that would be great. Giving Seattle more momentum, it would be tough to catch them."
When the Rams (4-4) face the Seahawks (5-3) Sunday, they'll be trying to rescue their season. Win and they're tied atop the NFC West. Lose and they'll be two games back with seven to play.
think the way we've played the last two
games is embarrassing." Mike Martz St. Louis Rams coach
Then on Wednesday the team held a full-contact scrimmage.
"I'm not happy with how we're playing, period, regardless of a division race or anything else," Martz said. "I think the way we played the last two games is embarrassing."
Coughing up that 17-point lead threw the Seahawks into their own rut. The defeat was the first of three in a row before they righted themselves with victories the last two weeks over the Panthers and 49ers. Coach Mike Holmgren said the loss to the Rams was a textbook case of how a perfect day can unravel. The Seahawks, favored in the preseason to unseat the Rams, had been firmly in control until late in the fourth quarter.
Unlike Martz, who's refusing to take the blame for anything these days, Holmgren said he's at fault for giving Matt Hasselbeck too much responsibility recently.
The Rams know controlling Alexander will go a long way toward putting their season back on track.
