KEESLER AIR FORCE BASE, Miss. -- The 338th Training Squadron Dark Knights rode the wave of their undefeated regular season to claim Keesler's intramural soccer championship Aug. 31 over the 333rd TRS Spartans, 6-3.

The Spartans scored in the first minute of the game, but the Dark Knights evened the score two minutes later.

The 338th TRS scored another minute later on a one-on-one play in which a Dark Knight got by the defender and scored.

The Spartans' goalie took a player out in the box, leading to a goal on a penalty kick for the Dark Knights. Then the Dark Knights scored again on a cross ball.

The Dark Knights scored again right after the kickoff and added another point on a throw ball, bringing the score to 6-1.

The Spartans didn't give up, scoring again when a player crossed the ball in the middle of the goalie box so a teammate had a successful shot. The Spartans followed up with a final goal from another cross ball in to the middle.
