![Weekend Recap On Our Turf]()
by Shelby Becker
It was a busy weekend on our turf, at all levels. There were both some wins and losses by our favorite teams, but it was a great weekend to watch.
The weekend kicked off with a bang when the Houston Cougars dominated the field over the Tulsa Golden Warriors. The 41-26 win came after an explosive 4th-quarter where the Cougars scored 24 points. Check out some of the highlights from the game:
Oregon Ducks Women’s soccer also fought hard Thursday night and played exceptionally. Unfortunately, #1 ranked Standford did win the match, but it was the valiant effort by the Ducks that kept the score at a low 1-0. We’re proud of how well the team controlled the field and the admirable teamwork the Ducks showed against the defending national champions.
Friday night proved to be an evening of high school heroes on our fields. Both Bishop Gorman and Austintown Fitch killed it last week with final scores at 42-7 and 49-6. The win helped Bishop Gorman hold down its #1 ranking in the state of Nevada and hopefully gave the team the confidence it needs to finish out the 2018 season strong.
On Saturday, the University of Hawaii football was nothing but strong. A 44-41 win over San Jose State not only brought the team to a 6-1 record but also meant the Paniolo trophy is back on the island. The team was more than a little excited as seen from the celebration:
Finishing off the weekend with a win was the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium. Sam Darnold had two big throws to Robby Anderson that helped secure the win and the team proved to be exceptional at running the ball. The Jets defense truly commanded the field though. With the defense keeping the Denver Broncos to just 16 points for the entire game, the offense was able to play the ball and score 34 points.
Tonight the Redskins will be taking on the New Orleans Saints in the Superdome. Are you ready for it?

![Weekend Recap On Our Turf]()
by Shelby Becker
The week is almost over and we don’t know if we’re more excited for the weekend itself or all of the games going down on our turf! With 4 jam-packed days of high school, college, and professional team games, which one are you most excited for?
Thursday, October 4, 2018
Houston Cougars
The University of Houston is leading the nation in total offense with over 608 yards per game and coming off of a week of rest to recoup after their 70-14 win over Texas Southern on September 22. The Cougars are likely to defend their home turf and turn their current 3-1 record into a 4-1.
Who doesn’t want to watch a game on this field?
Oregon Ducks
Fall soccer is heating up and the Oregon Ducks women’s team have a tough seventh week ahead of them.
Tonight is the first game of the weekend where the #1 ranked Stanford women’s team will be visiting Eugene, Oregon. Stanford has put up quite the fight this season and has beat two #2 ranked teams. However, the Ducks do hold a 6-0 record for home games this season, meaning Pape Field holds a serious home-field advantage for them. This is the first time the Ducks have hosted Stanford at home since 2013.
Also traveling from California to Oregon this weekend to face the Ducks is the University of California, Berkely Bears soccer team. The Sunday match will hopefully give the team another win at home to close of the week 7.
Friday, October 5th
Austintown Fitch
Coming off of a hard loss last week, Austintown Fitch is looking to redeem themselves this week against Lakeside. The team is using today for their final preparations before the 7 PM kickoff tomorrow.
Bishop Gorman
The 2018 season has been hard for Bishop Gorman. However, the team had a strong win last weekend and will hopefully continue that into tomorrow night’s game for the school’s Homecoming.
Saturday, October 6th
University of Hawaii
This weekend holds a lot of stakes for the University of Hawaii. First is the Paniolo Trophy. This Mountain West trophy is one of three in the region and currently symbolically held by the Rainbow Warriors. Possibly even more exciting than winning this trophy would be the team’s 200th win in Aloha Stadium on our turf. In 44 season the team has earned a 199-138-4 record, and Saturday could result in pushing the team to 200 wins.
Sunday, October 7th
New York Jets
This Sunday is sure to bring in a lot of fans-both old and young- to Metlife Stadium. This weekend is Jets Kids Day, meaning the entire family can experience Jets Fest complete with inflatable rides and player cutouts.
Rookie Quarterback Sam Darnold is gearing up to start his second game at home.
Each of these teams has home facilities that feature Act Global’s brand of synthetic turf. Selected for extreme strength and durability, alongside testing-backed player safety enhancements.

Many artificial grass systems claim to be long-lasting and durable, but what does this mean? How is durability measured when a synthetic turf field is meant to last close to a decade and used by a large variance of sports teams and exposed to different climatic conditions?
Act Global’s Xtreme Turf systems were developed based on years of research and development, a thorough benchmarking process against top natural grass fields, and a continuous drive to improve player safety and comfort. These factors have led us to engineer sport-specific turf systems that are proven to be durable through 100+ laboratory tests related to fiber breakdown, tensile strength, and color stability. For Act Global, durability means delivering a field that looks and performs as close to day 1 in year 8 as possible. By testing our turf with up to 130,000 Lisport cycles for both our monofilament and fibrillated yarns and exposing our fibers to 3,000 hours of UVA testing, we can confirm that our artificial grass can withstand extremely heavy use and intense climatic conditions. Our lineup of colors is vibrant for a beautiful field and certified to last by exceeding stringent international industry standards.
By putting the needs of players first, our stakeholders are the athletes, schools, and communities that utilize our fields every day. We are proud to be building better fields across the world for safer, more economical, and environmentally friendly sports facilities.

The new synthetic grass field installed by The KYA Group offers a professional level sports system to Southern California Schools.
Austin, TX- This summer, Citrus College elected to revitalize its main multipurpose field with leading synthetic turf technology. The KYA Group expertly installed Xtreme Turf before practice for the 2018 season began.
As a replacement for the outdated field, this turf system was selected for its reputation for safety and strength. The Citrus College Stadium has a long history of being used as a filming destination, therefore the field must remain camera-ready throughout the year. Xtreme Turf combines science with aesthetics to be safe for athletes, durable against damage, and beautiful for fans.
Citrus College’s new turf offers a bright and bold surface solution for a field that is utilized by multiple sports teams. The vivid markings make it easy for players and fans to distinguish their respective field lines. Finished off with a bold blue and orange border, the synthetic turf field rests beautifully in front of the college’s mountainous surroundings.
“The field couldn’t look better,” comments KYA Regional Director Andrea Ivey while visiting the site after completion. “We can’t wait to get players on the field so they can experience the turf themselves- we know the coaches are excited for game day.”
