The annual powderpuff game took place on Friday, Oct. 16, 2015, at 6:30 p.m. at the intramural recreational field on campus.
This year’s game featured a match up between students living on-campus against students living off-campus.
“There were a lot of students supporting others, which was wonderful to see and be a part of such a united community!” said Karisa Merrill, a sophomore with a pre-professional biology major.
There was a pre-game tailgate that included free food. The event, which was hosted by the Student Activities Board, also gave all attendees chance to take pictures with mascot Wolfie before the game.
A firework display followed the powderpuff game.
The off-campus team sported black uniforms with pink lettering, and the on-campus team sported pink uniforms with black lettering.
Ann-Marie Matagi, a junior social science major, said she felt the game went well.
“There were times when it was aggressive, but other than that our team went out and had fun,” she said.
Matagi played for the off-campus team for her first year at Western this year.
The homecoming court nominees were introduced at halftime. They consisted of students who attended the homecoming activities throughout the week. Members of the Homecoming Court included Jordan Ducotey and Nathan Tew, Shay Guyton and Bryan Kelly and Kaylee Church.
The homecoming honorees from 2014 also made an appearance.
The final court was scheduled to be announced on Saturday, Oct. 17 at the homecoming football game.
The final score of the powderpuff game was 8-0 with off-campus emerging as the victors.
