Sunday, October 28th
Sunday was a busy day for our brand of turf. Oregon Ducks women’s soccer beat the Arizona Wildcats on their home turf in Eugene, Oregon during overtime 1 to 0. Bailey Brunner scored the winning goal in the 95th minute of the game. The last four home matches were tough for the Ducks, especially the losses in the past two. We are proud they pulled through for a win this time. Hopefully, they keep up their hard work for their game against Oregon State on November 2nd.
One of our favorite NFL teams, unfortunately, took a loss this Sunday but the ending score was relatively close. The Redskins beat the Giants 24 to 13. The Giants fought hard but were won over by the Redskins use of their defense starting from the second quarter. The Giants offense just wasn’t hitting it this week, but we hope to see them fully recovered and ready for their game in San Francisco on November 12th.

Two of our other favorite NFL teams played against each other this Sunday and it was an exciting game to watch. We are proud of both teams and can’t wait to watch each of their following games on our brand of turf.
The Saints beat the Vikings 30 to 20. Their secret weapon Drew Brees was prepared to take exactly what the defense was going to throw at him and he did just that. The Vikings attempted to slow him down a few times but ultimately there was nothing stopping the Saints offense. This victory for the Saints extends their winning streak to six weeks. Their next game is at their home turf on the Mercedez-Benz Superdome against the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday. That matchup is said to be the most anticipated matchup of this 2018 NFL season. We are excited to see if the Saints will keep this winning streak going on our brand of turf. As for the Vikings, their wide receiver Adam Thielen continued to make history with now eight straight games with over 100 yards. He had 102 receiving yards during this game. The Vikings definitely played hard, we are proud of Adam Thielen and hope to see them dominate the Detroit Lions next week.
