Trophy News From Australia

RINGWOOD’S Big V Division 2 women’s team locked up top spot on the ladder last week following a 66-46 demolition of Blackburn on Saturday night before backing-up with a 64-62 win over Keilor.

The win over Keilor last Sunday afternoon saw the Lady Hawks claim the Neighbourhood Watch trophy in what may well be a dress rehearsal for the first week of the finals.
Both teams were backing-up from a game the night before and the contest was a tough finals-like arm-wrestle from the start. Neither team was able to lead by more than six points all day while there were 18 lead-changes and scores were tied four times in a game befitting a trophy battle.

Trophies News spotlights the Goat Trophy college basketball rivalry

Minnesota - St. Olaf College and Carleton College played the first of two games this season to determine if the Knights can maintain possession of the famed Goat Trophy. St. Olaf was the winner of last night’s game, beating Carleton by just 1 point (final score 61-60).

HISTORY OF THE GOAT TROPHY

• In 1914, Endre Anderson, a St. Olaf student (and later Oles coach) fashioned a makeshift goat out of a chair and hung it from the rafters of the St. Olaf gym. He was trying to “get the goat” of the Carleton players. Carleton won that game and claimed the Goat as a trophy. The two teams have traded the “Goat” ever since.

• The team not in possession of the Goat Trophy must be sweep the season series in order to wrest control away from the other team.

• After earning of the “Goat” with two wins in 1958, St. Olaf maintained possession of the trophy until 1989-90 when Carleton prevailed in a pair of close contests. The trophy has resided with Carleton every year since, except the 2002-03 season when the Oles pulled out a pair of overtime victories.
