In a game that featured seven ties and three lead changes, Rice Cloud Nine defeated Oklahoma State Ultimato 13-10. Wind played a prominent role in the game with gusts in excess of fifteen miles per hour.
Cloud Nine jumped out to a 2-0 lead to start the game. Ultimato then answered with two of their own. The teams then traded points to half, with Rice taking it 7-6. The second half began with more point trading until Could Nine gained a fortuitous break upwind and took a two point lead at 11-9. Ultimato was able to answer the very next point, but it ended up running out of time as Cloud Nine scored two more to finish off the game.
Oklahoma State’s Max Barowski, who sat out the Arkansas game earlier today, tried everything in his power to will his team to victory. At one point, with his team down and going upwind, Barowski fell over on the mark but still managed to block the throw with his leg. Jumping to his feet, he hustled down field, won a jump disc, and threw it for the score.
While the game was close it was also sloppy. The teams had a combined 76 turnovers.
