The intramural co-rec soccer league kicked off playoffs on Monday.
\nThe co-rec season started at the beginning of April and all teams have been able to get at least seven games.
\nInitially, the league was set for indoor play but an issue with curtains in the student recreation center forced the league outdoors.
\nAthletic Coordinator Carlos Diaz changed the league from six-on-six to eight-on-eight.
\nRules also had to be adjusted for outdoor play.
\nPlayers did not mind the change.
\n \u201cI have had a lot of fun so far this season, it was pretty inconvenient that we couldn\u2019t play indoor but we adjusted and managed,\u201d player Ashley Alonso said.
\nAlonso is a first-time participant and plays for Paisano FC.
\nHeading into the playoffs there are eight teams competing for the co-rec championship.
\n\u201cI\u2019m looking forward to the playoffs,\u201d Alberto Aguirre said. \u201cMy team at first had a slow start but we\u2019ve been on a roll and I think our team chemistry has been great and we\u2019ll see how the team responds when the game matters.\u201d
\n Aguirre is also a first-time player for the intramural league at TAMUK and plays alongside Alonso.
\nThe first round of the playoffs started Monday with Flew Shots FC at Pasiano, I don\u2019t know at Tamuk Engineers and Big Ballerz at Wake N Bake.
\nThe winners, Flew Shots, I Don\u2019t Know, and Big Ballerz advanced to the next round.
\nThe Inferno team being currently in first place in the league with only one loss in the season has a first round bye.
\n Games will be played at the TAMUK intramural soccer fields.
\nJesus Castillion plays for Paisano FC and said the games were tough this season.
\n\u201cAll the teams we\u2019ve played have been close competitive games, so anything can happen,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
